And that's different to div or span because . . .???
Span is an in-line text divider, most of the time. It can be used to
highlight all sorts of differences in text significance. Paragraphs are
block level elements.
A div-level separation usually means you are dealing with a very
separate piece of text - one that is outside the flow of the rest of the
document, and often not part of the'document' at all. Moreover it has no
defined relationship to text - divs are much more free in their use.
As Rob suggests, div and span are far looser in their interpretation
than <p>s.
@Akella:
You mention divisions between chapters, Akella, but I am more familiar
with such devices (the '*****' format of horizontal rules in print)
being used at levels lower than the chapter. In novellas they generally
signify a distinct break of timeline or protagonist.
