I would like to use a VFP table and data drive HTML output that creates an outline style output. That is I want to use the

HTML tags to display the results.

Here is some sample HTML code to examine:
```
 <ol>
  <li>Top Level 
   <ol>
    <li>Sub-Level
     <ol>
      <li>Sub-Level Item 1</li>
      <li>Sub-Level Item 2</li>
      <li>Sub-Level Item 3
       <ol>
        <li>Sub-Sub-Level Output</li>
       </ol>
      </li>
     </ol>
    </li>
```
As you can see, an order list can go several layers deep. It gets tricky to write a program that can generate this output since Sub-Level Item 3, Sub-Level and Top Level areas do not close their respective tags until after the subordinate tags are complete. However, other tags such as Sub-Level Item 1 and 2 close their tags immediately.

Anyone done something like this before? How would you set up the table properly to handle the variable ident level tags? Does something like a parentFK column that points back to its parent PK sound right?
