One Brief, Shining Moment

HTML advice?

I’m trying to make a series of nested lists as the easiest way to display genealogies, mostly for my own reference. I could easily do it in a plain text document, but I want to be able to have quickly-clickable #tags for easy navigation, as well as at some point populate with links to wiki.

I got it sort of looking how I’d like in my experiment, below, but I don’t know the easy way to go about doing this.  Right now it’s just keeping <ul> and <li> straight, if I can manage it, but WP adds and subtracts spaces seemingly at whim. Any advice for an easier way to build, populate, and store the reference would be appreciated.
