i've looked through the spec but its not clear. it tells you what you how they work but not what you're not allowed to do.

question: does a <LI> have to site within a <UL> ?

eg:

proper way of doing it

<UL>
<LI>element 1</LI>
<LI>element 2</LI>
</UL>

is this allowed?

<LI>element 1</LI>
<LI>element 2</LI>

it means that the list is not indented.

thoughts, or preferably (but unlikely knowing you lot) answers.

<ul> is 'unordered list'.
<li> is 'list item'.

And fwiw, <ol> is 'ordered list' and will give you numbers instead of bullets.

The <li> tag is a component of list tags (such as ul, ol etc), so yes - it should be within the <ul> </ul>. You can easily style lists with css though, if you want to lose the indent.
