xhtml:

<p>I am so beautiful I'd start to cry.<span class="double">I mean it, man.</span>
Oh, and by the way, there's a three-headed monkey behind you.</p>	
}

css:

.double {
	display: block;
	margin-bottom: 14px;	
}

Do you think it is an adequate way to avoid using double br's when inserting some space between two lines of text in the same paragraph? Using line-height increases the space both above and under the text, while I only want to add some space under the first line.

[weldo]

why not just have 2 paragraphs ??

i suppose what you say is 'acceptable' if there's a reason for it, but wouldn't you be better having seperate paragraphs with their own classes if neccessary ??

Hi Weldo,

The thing is, I am using this tweak for an address, aiming at having each phone number (landline, mobile, etc) on its separate line. I thought that these wouldn't really be paragraphs.. it just sounded not very semantic to me. What do you reckon?

[gray]

<address>
street<br />
town<br />
county<br />
postcode<br /><br />
telephone<br />
fax<br />
email
</address>

is what i use

[oli]

aye, and style the address tag as its italic by default.

[mudz]

Sweet..

[weldo]

the address tag ??
shit - i never knew that existed !!

[pgo]

Haha, it does. I do it the same way as gray.

Either that or:

<address>
<dl>
<dt>Address</dt>
<dd>Address line 1<br />line2<br />line3</dd>
<dt>Phone</dt>
<dd>Phone</dd>
</dl>
</address>

Endless styling possibilities even if the HTML is a bit on the heavy side.

[weldo]

i generally do what gray does - just without the <address> bit ....

what else exists that i don't know about ??
father christmas ?? dinosaurs ?? betamax ??

take heart... I didnt know of its existence either.

I do it the <dl> way fwiw

[daandj]

i didn't knew it either, tell me what's the advantage of using the aadress tag?

[pgo]

It's semantically correct.

[mudz]

respect

<p>I am so beautiful I'd start to cry.<span class="double">I mean it, man.</span>
Oh, and by the way, there's a three-headed monkey behind you.</p>

...should be...

<p>I am so beautiful I'd start to cry.</p>
<p>I mean it, man.</p>
<p>Oh, and by the way, there's a three-headed monkey behind you.</p>

Definitely.
