[thelist] Search Engine Article From InternetDay [OT]

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

The coding which I've seen cause this more than anything else is
styling applied by CSS span, like this:
<p>
     <span class="para_styling_with_odd_leading">
          paragraph content lorum
          ipsum nonnyquoddy etc etc etc
     </span>
<p>

So the styling ends before the paragraph does. From what I've seen,
GoLive users tend to do this a lot more, so it may be an artefact of
GoLive.

Much more sensible is:
<p class="para_styling_with_odd_leading">
     paragraph content lorum
     ipsum nonnyquoddy etc etc etc
<p>

So the styling applies to the semantic unit, and all the way to its end.

Cheers
Martin

Umm... sorry about this but

Whilst your quick fix will do the trick, the *cause* is
usually a single space between the end of your text, outside
any text formatting tags and before the paragraph break.
