Doing a list of genealogical notes, I wanted to space them out so there was a blank line between each record. So I replaced each LI by PLI.

Re: PLI
I've noticed whilst doing some html work that netsurf will barf/break where other browsers don't. It's always down to a fault with my html, that's one of the many reasons I'm now using netsurf for development work, then testing with other browsers. It only used to be IE that auto-corrected badly formed html, it's sad Chrome and Firefox are now up to those dirty tricks too. So I would say it is definitely a very bad browser bug, just not in Netsurf ;-) Cheers, Malcolm - Original Message - From: Rob Kendrick r...@netsurf-browser.org To: netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org Sent: Friday, 28 August, 2015 13:53:18 Subject: Re: PLI On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 04:52:04AM -0800, Dave Higton wrote: On Fri, 28 Aug 2015 12:50:00 +0100 Richard Torrens wrote: Doing a list of genealogical notes, I wanted to space them out so there was a blank line between each record.

No, in HTML p does not require a closing tag except in specific circumstances. The end of a li is not one of those circumstances. http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/p.html As for the original question, I would probably use CSS to add padding or margin at the bottom of each li. -- Anthony J.

No, in HTML p does not require a closing tag except in specific circumstances. The end of a li is not one of those circumstances. Also, I don't think there's any guarantee that a new paragraph actually inserts a blank line, and starting a new paragraph in the middle of a list seems like an odd thing to do. I always use br, same as Rob suggested. As for the original question, I would probably use CSS to add padding or margin at the bottom of each li. That's probably the correct modern way to do it.

Re: PLI
I just find Netsurf quick and easy. I've used the validation service in the past, but I never thought of using it for local pages. I didn't think it could do! I'll definitely do that now once I finish a page, thanks for the reminder!
