Screenshot of the broken display.

One of the ill effects is ul within ul which leads to broken display. This is Firefox 12.0.

hi~Jan.
I see the error results on the page validator.w3.org, but I didn't see the broken display as in the attachment by opening the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737830, this Firefox 15.0.

The display problem was fixed many months ago.

However, we still aren't producing compliant HTML. I've checked upstream, and they aren't either. Some errors are customisations on our part (ID "USEFUL-LINKS" already defined). Others come from upstream.

I'm going to mark this as part of the initial Bugzilla 4.4 release. Any changes that affect upstream mean we can submit a patch for it.
Comment 6 Matt Tyson 🤬 2013-02-14 05:28:51 UTC 
I've fixed up the broken HTML caused by Red Hat extensions.  There's still some  warnings from the upstream HTML, but they don't look like they would cause any page breakage.
