I would like to create a list of countries without using LIs - just by hand
like this:

<b>Countries</b><br>
Argentina><br>
Brazil><br> etc.

But I would like the A of Argentina and the B of Brazil to be, say, under
the U of countries (indented, I guess). Is there a way I can do this in
HTML without using the <li> system? TIA.

Why not just use <li>? You're creating a list so list items seem to
be the sensible way to do it.

OK, I'll bite. Because the <li> system gives me 2 or 3 blank lines between
countries and argentina which I don't want.. The LI system comes looking
ike this:

countries

(indent)* argentina
(indent)* brazil.

While what I want is like this:

countries
(ind) argentina
(ind) brazil

I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining these things.

Okay, that's not a problem, you can still use <li>, you just have to
change it off the default styles:

<h2 class="clist">Countries</h2>
<ul class="clist">
<li>argentina</li>
....
</ul>

Then attach a stylesheet with the following content. You might need
to play around with margin-left: and padding-left: in the ul.clist
and/or ul.clist li styles to get the margin where you want it:

h2.clist { margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 0; }
ul.clist { margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0; }
ul.clist li { list-style-type: none; }

If you don't like accessibility, that is. Lists should be marked up as
lists.
