Thank you all,
first, with short schedules and short weekends I find myself looking for things I cannot find in w3c, its organization is quite confusing, and since I keep loosing bookmarks and favorite lists on every format (unfortunatly too many of those) I end up getting in pannic once in a while.
On those times my synapsis tend to get slower :).
Things like
(quoting w3c)
<!ENTITY % phrase "EM | STRONG | DFN | CODE | SAMP | KBD | VAR | CITE | ABBR | ACRONYM" > <!ELEMENT (%fontstyle;|%phrase;) - - ( %inline;)*> <!ATTLIST (%fontstyle;|%phrase;) %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- >
tend to get confusing when you google it digging for a simple clear statement about your doubt, so thank you Rimantas.
Janos, thank you for the tip, but I used the "em" element because that is what makes sense in the context, to enphasize a note as content, not only as presentation.
Pardon me if I wasn't clear: I classified the w3c "well formedness" concept example as a bad one, not because it says anything wrong, but because it can be missunderstood; one can find this example all over the internet, as an example of how to use the "em" tag, but they are as poor as this example as to the issue in question: where exactly should it go. (I mean it would be wrong to make it "<em><p>Hello World!</p></em>" since "em" is an inline element and "p" is a block level one, but that isn't made clear). It seams it is very easy to find a lot of places where you learn xhtml, even where you can get diplomas on the subject, but the fact is that they do not get very deep. When one searches for more specific information, w3c turns into a labirinth, and most tutorial and reference sites into mere copies of w3c schools main content pages.
Anyway, this links you all gave me deserve a good study,
Thank you, best regards,
Isabel Santos
