# HTMLnesting.nestingExceptions(3kaya)

Is an exception to the general nesting rules allowed?

## NAME

HTMLnesting::nestingExceptions - Is an exception to the general nesting rules allowed?

## SYNOPSIS

**Bool nestingExceptions(** *Pair\<String, String\>  ex* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**ex** A pair of element names in "parent, child" order

## DESCRIPTION

Returns true if the nesting exception in the pair is allowed. This is used to add exceptions to the elements where **HTMLnesting.pretendEmpty (3kaya)** is true (for example, *("ul","li")* returns true). Nesting exceptions are not made for the table elements, as editing these via addition of elements would be very error-prone - the specialised table editing functions in **HTMLDocument(3kaya)** should be used instead.
