This ought to be mindlessly simple: can I test for a string within 
another?

Example: Finding "<ul>" case insensitive within dtml-myvar?

Usage: On a news site, users sometimes put lists in the stories, and I 
need to sense them in order to cleanly break out of them when 
summary pages truncate the story thus:

<h1>Wow New Product!</h1>
<p>Our new product is great, it has:</p>
<ul>
<li>A titanium case</li>
<li>Rugged carry-straps</li>
<li>Elasticated ... [More]

<< code needed here to close that <ul> neatly >>
