mercedo's Journal: Slashcode

Probably many slashdotters have already noticed that the P tag doesn't function well at the end of the first paragraph, that turns to work as in Br tag instead.

I'd better use all Br tag instead, hadn't I?

If I did so, I wouldn't face any trouble now I do. I try doing so.

Looking at a few of my JEs...

...I find the same thing. Eg. http://slashdot.org/~Morosoph/journal/122499 [slashdot.org]

Except that it's not so much the first paragraph, as random paragraphs throughout.

I plan to do nothing about it, since my articles are still readable, and the code may be fixed one day. Also, I'm stubborn, and I don't think that it's the one who is following standards who should shift.

You'll need to use <br><br> to replace <p> though, not just a single <br>.

Long time no see. When it comes to writing, I am an extremely sensitive person, such clumsiness makes me so nervous and it makes me deterrent to write some decent articles in this site. Recently I started using other site-Technocrat.net for my base writings. And I transcript some of them to this site when I want other Slashdotters to read them.

close your tags

(i think) everything works fine if you start with your text with <p>, then start each new paragraph with <p>.
correct me if i'm wrong.

That works for me. It's more "correct" anyway.

Re:close your tags

[mercedo]

Thanks a lot. Everything works very well and it doesn't bother me.

Re:close your tags

[weierstrass]

you really are supposed to have <p> before and </p> after each paragraph. but if you start a new paragraph with <p>, it can guess that the old paragraph is over.

often writing <p> only between paragraphs is enough for it to guess the right thing but not here.
