DIR
The <DIR> element is similar to the
<UL> element. It represents a
list of short items, typically up to 20 characters each. Items in a
directory list may be arranged in columns, typically 24 characters
wide.
The content of a <DIR> element is a sequence of <LI> elements.
Nested block elements are not allowed in the content of <DIR>
elements. For example:
<DIR>
<LI>A-H<LI>I-M
<LI>M-R<LI>S-Z
</DIR>
