I could add a nested ordered list to a kittens list item like so:
<li kittens
<ol>
</ol>
</li>
see how the ol tags are inside the list item tags?

39,199 PointsAs a general rule of thumb here on the forum we want to give help not answers, so in general it's better to give an explanation and/or a hint instead so just giving an answer for someone to cut and paste without understanding why their original code was wrong.
The forum uses markdown to correctly format code, check out this thread on how to type code in the forum for some examples.
