To avoid long lists I've got my li set to float: left so that they alternate rows. However, on occasion this causes an unintentional gap between elements when the content in a li takes up two lines. My HTML is:

<ul class="gmc-ingredient-list">                                   
<li>500g Tagliatelle</li>                                                                   
<li>50g wortel</li>                                 
<li>50g ui</li>                                  
<li>50g bleekselderij</li>                                  
<li>100g pancetta</li>                                  
<li>200g half-om-half-gehakt</li>                                  
<li>200g rundergehakt</li>                                  
<li>200 ml Primitivo (rode wijn)</li>                                  
<li>200ml runderbouillon</li>                                  
<li>5 eetlepels tomatenpuree</li>                                  
<li>Olijfolie</li>                                  
<li>Zeezout</li>                                  
<li>Verse peper</li>                                             
</ul>

My CSS is:

ul.gmc-ingredient-list { 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0;
list-style: none; 
width: 300px; 
}

ul.gmc-ingredient-list li { 
background: url(http://allesoveritaliaanseten.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/aoie-list.png) no-repeat scroll left top transparent; 
list-style: none outside none;
padding: 0px 0 0 20px; 
width: 130px; 
float: left;
}

And the output looks like http://allesoveritaliaanseten.nl/ragu-alla-bolognese/

But there are also some cases in which a li takes up two lines and the output is just fine like html css html-lists gaps-in-visuals
