If that were your reasoning do you put a space at the end (or start) of every paragraph? I wouldn't think so - I think the space is unnecessary.
I personally always put a carriage-return in my code after a <br /> eg. 5. The cat is<br /> in the kitchen Not only does it make the code more readably, it is also laid out it as it will [normally] render in the browser.

The cat is <br /> in the kitchen (one space before and after the tag) My feeling would be 2 or 3, because if all the tags were programmatically removed, there would be a single space left between the words. Option 1 would then read "The cat isin the kitchen" which would be wrong. Option 4 would read "The cat is in the kitchen" which isn't correct either (although better than option 1). -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
