[thelist] Question about proper tag

[Diane Soini]

Thanks for the help. It seemed weird to me to nest the tags, but I 
guess it is ok. The space around headings bothers me, though. I hate 
having to rely upon css to style away the default look of an HTML 
element. Since my site map is basically a list, I assume I have to also 
use list markup for it to continue being semantically correct. Well, if 
I do that: <ul><li><h1><a href="">text</a></h1></li> etc... the <h*> 
tags have too much space above and below. I can, of course, set the 
margins to 0 in the css, but I really hate having to force the natural 
structure of an element to be dramatically different. Of course I style 
things, but I try to stay away from the styles being crucial to the 
usability. I guess there isn't any way around it, though.
