/* -------------------- list styles -------------------- */

/* ul (unordered list) style:

Note: the only change that we make here from the default values is to set the top margin to 0.
This is needed to eliminate the excessive vertical gap that otherwise appears by default
between the ul and the preceding line of content.
Since CSS uses collapsing vertical margins (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html#collapsing-margins),
the margin has to be eliminated both here and in the line above it (which is why the listHeader style also had to be defined).
*/
