Thanks for your input. I sorta figured <br>'s weren't forbidden fruit within <blockquote><p> but I just wanted to ask.
> how important is it that > there is a line break after seldom and books? Well, hum, okay. You're right, It's not that important. I come from 26 years in print design (only the past 3 on web projects) and it's been difficult for me to let go of the near manical control I've been able to wield over past print projects (oh, no! the logo's off by a millimeter!!). Sometimes I still struggle with it - like how those lines break in the quote. Silly. However, I'm happy to report that most of my designs do turn out the way I want them, as well as validate (XHTML and CSS). If I can't get the visual to work...and the code to validate...I'll re-work it until I know I can produce it to standards. Anyway, thanks for the "how important is it?" remark. Sometimes I need to be reminded. I'll take a stab at "overflow" - never used it before - instead of the <br>s.
