I will say that I prefer <p> as I can isolate it via the stylesheet for additional formatting if needed.
Are you talking about:
<p>TEXT</p>
<br />
<p>TEXT</p> |

Yeah thats what i thought... but ive been using the <br /><br /> to isloate paragraphs. I was curious if i should start doing: code: <p>Paragraph</p> <p>Paragraph</p> wysiwyg: paragraph paragraph instead of doing this code: Paragraph <br /><br /> Paragraph wysiwyg paragraph paragraph

I suggest <p></p> for the reason suggested above. Plus, it's just better code.... :) |

Yeah, always use <p> for a paragraph (and don't forget to close the tag; for some reason a lot of people don't use the </p>). <br /> is for single line breaks within a paragraph, so really should only be used one at a time, if needed. |

Bryan - Just a note that you shouldn't put <ul></ul> tags inside paragraphs when you start using the <p> tag. It's a small thing but it will keep your pages from validating if you break the rule.

got it... Thats what ive been practicing <p></p> tags for a while but I looked back at some of my old pages and noticed using <br /><br /> to seperate the paragraphs and couldnt figure out why i did it lol. I havent ever used <ul></ul> inside the <p></p> tags as it messes everything up but thanks for the warning!

A lot of WYSIWYG editors do some serious damage in paragraphs and line breaks (not to mention practically everything else). I think that's how a lot of people end up with it, which is a shame, because that's how a lot of people learn HTML. |

yeah i stopped using wysiwyg a long long time ago... fp 2002 i think (sf5 days). I still have a lot of products imported from back in those days that have yet to be updated. I guess i meant with wysiwyg above is showing what its like once it rendered in the browser.
Im still always finding new ways of coding... I have to go back and refresh my memory when i see something old ;)
