					<td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><p>A <span class="literal">p</span> element defines a paragraph structural element
in a document. With HTML 4, the <span class="literal">p</span> element is
formally a block-level element, which means that content for a
<span class="literal">p</span> element begins on its own line, and content
following the <span class="literal">p</span> element starts on its own line. No
other block-level elements may be nested inside a
<span class="literal">p</span> element. If you omit the end tag (not
permissible in XHTML), the element ends at the next block-level
element start tag.
</p><p>The nature of the <span class="literal">p</span> element has changed over time.
In early implementations of HTML, the element represented only a
paragraph break (a new line with some extra line spacing). Version 4
and later browsers render <span class="literal">p</span> elements in a hybrid
way such that the start tag of a <span class="literal">p</span> element inserts
a line space before the block. This means that a <span class="literal">p</span>
element cannot start at the very top of a page unless it is
positioned via CSS. Use the <span class="literal">p</span> element for
structural purposes, rather than formatting purposes.
</p><p>The content of a <span class="literal">p</span> element does not recognize
extra whitespace that appears in the source code. Other elements,
such as <span class="literal">pre</span>, render content just as it is
formatted in the source code.
