require( 'strict' )
--
-- Implements {{Вложенный список}} in one module
-- Allows us to potentially move towards a more accessible markup for the template when the time is right
-- Previously, the template broke the lists {{Вложенный список}} or {{NL2}} or {{NL3}} are in
-- Heavily borrows from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Excerpt_slideshow
