[Cialug] Web Work, HTML Question

[Matthew Nuzum]

A p os nor like a carriage return, it's a block (ie carriage return) +
bottom margin.

A div is the same but no margin or padding. Semantically, a p is a paragrah,
a div is a.section of content. Like a group of paragraphs, column, header or
something similar.

Your reasons:

1) They're not "accessibility" friendly

This isn't for the public and it's a very limited application that
won't be updated often once it gets made.  I'm not worried about
accessibility.  Though I appreciate the point.

2)  and they can get unreadable quickly.

They do, don't they?  This is a good point, too.

I know that <p> will be like a carriage return, so I can understand
using that.  I'm not sure what div and span are supposed to do.  I'll
look them up.

Ooh, yeah.  Thanks for the suggestion.
