post_list template

In post_list.html we use an empty tag to present a "Sorry, no posts" message if the for loop determines that there are no posts.

This message is a list item, but from a semantic HTML point of view I suppose we'd instead want no <ul> at all.

Is there a sensible way to do this?

Thanks for any thoughts

{% if object_list %}
<ul>
    {% for object in object_list %}
    <li>{{ object.title }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>Sorry, no posts</p>
{% endif %}

It's way more verbose and I don't think these semantics are that important. But, still, it's definitely doable and up to you how you'd like to approach it.
