<!-- this ordered list does not have nesting -->
<ol>
  <li>Stop</li>
  <li>Drop</li>
  <li>Roll</li>
</ol>


<!-- this unordered list HAS a nested ordered list in each of the two top <li> elements -->
<ul>
  <li>Shapes
    <ol>  <!-- nested -->
        <li>Square</li>
        <li>Circle</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>Colors  
    <ol>  <!-- nested -->
        <li>Red</li>
        <li>Green</li>
        <li>Blue</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ul>
