Hi, first time poster... anyway.
I think most would agree that forcing Hx elements to become inline
elements, rather than block level elements, is a poor use of the
markup. In other words, semantically it's probably not the best idea.
Technically you could take an unordered list and style it so that it
looks like a paragraph, but then what's the point of using an
unordered list, right?
