Yes, but AFAIK a rootline is not a standard menu as you do not have to 
define the configuration of each "level", it is dynamic. For standard 
menu you have to say that 2nd level is like 1st, 3rd too, 4th too, ... 
This lets me think that you cannot think of a rootline as a standard 
menu and as such you cannot use the need-to-use wrapItemAndSub.

>>> temp.menu = HMENU
>>> temp.menu {
>>> 	wrap = <div> | </div>
>>> 	entryLevel = 1
>>> 	1 = TMENU
>>> 	1 {
>>> 		wrap = <ul>| </ul>
>>> 		NO.wrapItemAndSub = <li> | </li>
>>> 		ACT < .NO
>>> 		ACT = 1
>>> 	}
>>> 	2 < .1
>>> 	3 < .1
>>> 	4 < .1
>>> 	5 < .1
>>> }
>> This generates the whole page tree, not only the rootline.

Exactly! And this is why I think it is not possible.

I know that and I'm the first to try using pure TS but I could not get 
it work. Now, this is what I have yet:

mypage.5 = HMENU
mypage.5 {
	special = rootline
	special.range = 0|-1

	1.wrap = <ul>|</ul>
	1 = TMENU
	1.NO {
		stdWrap.field = title
		linkWrap = <li>|<ul><li> |*| |<ul><li> |*| |</li></ul>
	}
}

And it is OK but it does not close all <li>'s and <ul>'s that were open.

If I could say after that: "Now count the levels and for each append 
</li></ul> to the end of the generated rootline", that would be OK.

I tried to use a standard definition of wrapItemAndSub with

2 < .1
3 < .2

etc. but then the rootline becomes a standard menu showing both the 
rootline in '1' and the whole menu tree in 2 and the rest.

Another solution would be (perhaps) to use a userfunc that returns the 
hierarchical menu using TSFE->rootline and then use a standard 
hierarchical menu generation with wrapItemAndSub and defining up to 10th 
level for instance.

I don't see another solution yet.
