Basic block level elements

This is a normal paragraph (p element).
To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was
primarily written for testing the effect of user style sheets.
You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how
your browser displays various HTML elements by default.
It can also be useful when testing conversions from HTML
format to other formats, since some elements can go wrong then.

This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that
the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected
those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules,
in my opionion.

This is a div element. Authors may use such elements instead
of paragraph markup for various reasons. (End of div.)

This is a block quotation containing a single
paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not really
quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this
page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.

Lists

This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (ul). Note that
the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard
to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are
logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".

  • One.
  • Two.
  • Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that
    for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented,
    whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.

  • Four. This is the last item in this list.
    Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

Links

This is a text paragraph that contains some
inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links
lists) are problematic
from the
usability perspective,
but they may have use as
“incidental”, less relevant links. See the document
Links Want To Be Links.
