What can we put as content to a note? I was hoping to create XOXO but
the converter/parser seems to disallow nested lists, i.e. I put:

<ol class="xoxo">
<li>
<dl>
<dt>top</dt>
<dd>
<dl>
<dt>child1</dt>
<dd>foo</dd>
<dt>child2</dt>
<dd>bar</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
</ol>

But I get:

<div>
<ol>
<li> </li>
</ol>
</div>

Is this expected behaviour?

The allowable contents for a note is described in the help text for the note editor (by clicking the blue information circle in the toolbar). Specifically, the only allowable HTML tags are: "u, strong, em, b, i, p, code, pre, tt, output, samp, kbd, var, sub, sup, strike, font, dfn, cite, big, small, address, hr, br, div, span, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, ul, ol, li, dt, dd, abbr, acronym, a, img, blockquote, del, ins, fieldset, and legend". Any other tag present in the note will be stripped out before being saved, as with the dl tag you are trying to use.

Hope this helps,
Shaun

The Drop.io on-page note editor had a problem with editing/saving
two-level nested OL/UL lists some months ago. I reported it, got
some interest, never saw a fix, stopped caring - as with many
issues. Sorry guys. I've lost my faith.
