HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
• The closing tag for the
<p>
tag is optional under the HTML specification; however,
under the XHTML 1.0 specification, the closing tag
</p>
is required for XHTML
compatibility.
• As a logical element, empty paragraphs are ignored by browsers, so do not try to
use multiple
<p>
tags in a row, like
<p><p><p><p>
, to add blank lines to a Web
page.
• Often, nonbreaking space entities are used to hold open empty paragraphs, like so:
<p> </p>
. The value of this markup is questionable.
• The HTML 3.2 specification supports only the
align
attribute with values of
center
,
left
, and
right
.
• The HTML 2.0 specification supports no attributes for the
p
element.
<param> (Object Parameter)
This element specifies a parameter to be passed to an embedded object that is specified with
the
object
or
applet
element. This element should occur only within the scope of one of
these elements.
