Okay, let's go over this then. First, let's talk about the basic case where there's no whitespace between the two paragraphs. <p>Paragraph 1</p><p>Paragraph 2</p> In this case, the f

In this comment section? Are you talking about stuff like the example I used earlier? <p><div></div></p> Yes, obviously this is bad and nonsensical HTML. Under no circumstances does it make sense t

I don't understand what you mean. Please elaborate. That quote says that </p> is not needed in many cases. When you say "none of those clauses apply to <p>", this is true, you can't omit <p>, only

Although there are some other uses for <p>, it is perfectly valid to use <p> tags for textual paragraphs and that has been the main use for <p> for as long as HTML has existed. I'm not sure why you believe otherwise.

What's not in the spec? Every example in the article is valid HTML, and the article itself, which is written in the same style, is valid as well: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Flofi.limo%2Fb... &gt

One interesting detail is that a lack of deep nesting was in fact a deliberate design goal for HTML originally, to make WYSIWYG editing more feasible. http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLConstraints.h

Were the five unclosed runs before the five closed runs? I could see that making a difference vs. interleaving them, if the hardware needs to "warm up" first. For me, on Firefox on Linux (I know it's the one with the smallest

I can't verify your numbers. As far as I can tell, loading a ~900,000 word document with no other differences than including or excluding </p> has about the same load time, though there's too much variance from load to

You have to know about what breaks out of <p> tags regardless of whether or not you leave off the end tag, though. <p><div></div></p> is invalid HTML because <div> ends the paragraph, resultin

Okay, I've gotten a bit carried away with HTML spec minutia elsewhere in these comments, mainly because this stuff really isn't common knowledge among web developers and it's hard to resist talking about it. However, I also w

This is not quite right. The HTML spec specifies not only what browsers/user agents are allowed to do, but also what document authors are allowed to do. While the HTML parser does handle errors, to conform to the spec, document autho

by niconii 4y ago
Just to add to this, HTML parsers will attempt to make sense of any random line noise you give it and turn it into a DOM. When I say something is "invalid" HTML, what I mean is that it's not allowed by the spec and will resul

by niconii 4y ago
Oh, for sure, actually parsing HTML was awful before HTML5. The spec sometimes diverged from how browsers actually interpreted HTML, and error correction basically boiled down to browsers trying to reverse-engineer each other to figure ou

I mentioned "block elements" in my other comment, but to be clear, CSS has no effect on how HTML is parsed, so the display property isn't relevant here. Furthermore, you need to know about this rule even if you do write `<

Yes, that is a case where it's not legal to omit `</p>` if you don't want the image to be inside the paragraph. Take a look at the spec[1], which outlines exactly when it is valid to omit tags. The `p` element in partic

Well, then they were wrong, because it's always been part of every HTML spec. Perhaps they were thinking of XHTML, which did require all tags because it was based on XML.

Just to clarify, HTML5 didn't introduce this, it's been the case since at least 1993. https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_1.html

I think you misunderstood the comment you're replying to. They're saying Andrew Lee is the one crapping on the channel owners by hijacking their channels.

Effectively, each server ticket increases your upload limit by 200 MB, permanently. I'd imagine things could add up with custom graphics and things like that, but I have no idea exactly how big the userbase is in Japan. It's defin

No, but SmileBASIC itself supports a USB keyboard and mouse.

Well, let me try explaining how it works, because they honestly do a pretty bad job of it. So SmileBASIC 4 itself costs 25 USD (40 AUD). A server ticket costs 5 USD (9 AUD). Despite the name, these tickets never expire or get used up. How t

Previous versions of SmileBASIC also exist on the DSi (under the name "Petit Computer") and 3DS (simply called "SmileBASIC").
