Description
I could be misinterpreting, but in volume frus1977-80v01, the presentation of the online source list doesn't seem to match the nested lists in the PDF. To my eye, the online version appears to be flattened:
https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1977-80v01/sources

https://static.history.state.gov/frus/frus1977-80v01/pdf/frus1977-80v01.pdf
I checked the XML file and thought two examples were immediately interesting:
- In the XML, P/D/N Reels seemed to be properly nested under the Central Foreign Policy File so perhaps there is an issue is style/format rendering?
- Under NARA, I believe RG 59 should be the parent to the Lot Files, D Files, etc. that follow; however, these hierarchical children are listed as sibling items and not nested in a subordinate list.
<list type="sources">
<item>
<hi rend="strong">Department of State, Washington, D.C.</hi>
<list>
<item>
<hi rend="italic">Central Foreign Policy File.</hi> These files have
been transferred or will be transferred to the National Archives and
Records Administration in College Park, Maryland. <list>
<item>P Reels</item>
<item>D Reels</item>
<item>N Reels</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>Lot Files. These files have been transferred or will be
transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration in
College Park, Maryland.</item>
<item>S/S Files: Lot 84D241 <list>
<item>Records of Secretary of State <persName corresp="#p_VCR_1"
>Cyrus Vance</persName>, 1977–1980</item>
</list>
</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<hi rend="strong">National Archives and Records Administration, College
Park, Maryland</hi>
<list>
<item>
<hi rend="strong">Record Group 59, General Records of the Department
of State</hi>
</item>
<item>Lot Files</item>
<item>D Files: Lot 81D113 (Entry P–14) <list>
<item>Records of Deputy Secretary of State <persName
corresp="#p_CWM_1">Warren Christopher</persName>,
1977–1980</item>
</list>
</item>
...
</list>
</item>
</list>
So perhaps there are two distinct issues of HTML rendering and XML nesting to explore? If you'd like me to do a closer analysis of frus1977-80v01 and/or look at other source lists, please let me know, @joewiz.
Thanks!
