Re: Re: Nested Dropnotes
The navigation tab on this page tells how to do this:
 
STATIC
Ideas on Page Design  (E)
Web Design Principles

In fact, the "Design" page exploits this technique. It's probably best to use the legacy editor when doing the technique that's described on this site.

Essentially, if you use a dropnote to open a page with an {insert:####} tag, the page referenced by the {insert:####} tag can ALSO have a dropnote. That LOOKS like a nested dropnote, but it's not. It's a hack depending on how the system processes the inserted page, which likely depends on the backend (Apache or ASP would do this differently, for example). But it works, and continued to work after the Big Awesome Transition the site just went through.
