Hm. Then there's something odd going on, because that's working fine
from where I'm viewing it: see screenshot at
http://195.137.84.82/~ron/contextwiki.png It looks like that for me in
Mozilla, Firefox, Konqueror and Safari!

However, viewing the resulting HTML source suggests that it's not
creating quite the right nesting - it has the sequence
<ul><li>...</li><ul>...</ul>...</ul> rather than
<ul><li>...<ul>...</ul></li>...</ul> (on a normal wiki page, you seem
to get the latter form, where the sub-list is *inside* an item of the
outer list). Maybe IE renders such a syntax differently?

However, to add to the confusion
http://contextgarden.net/MediaWiki:Sidebar shows up as empty, and I'm
unable to create the same effect (or indeed, make MediaWiki:sidebar do
*anything*) on my own test wiki! So maybe it is some kind of caching
issue. Blarg.
