HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
Usually this happens only to the first paragraph in a section. However, if the runs of paragraphs are interrupted
by a
div
,
table
,
blockquote
, or other element, there is likely such a block after each such block-level element.
Consequently, after running TagSoup over a page, search for empty paragraphs. Anytime you find one, it means
there's probably a paragraph-less block of text earlier in the document that you should enclose in a new
p
element. However, this is tricky because often the start-tag and end-tag are on different lines. The following
regular expression will find most occurrences:
<p>\s*</p>
This expression will find any empty paragraphs that have attributes:
<p\s[^>]*>\s*</p>
However, such paragraphs weren't created by Tidy or TagSoup, so you'll probably want to leave them in.
