XHTML Tutorial - Multiple Paragraphs Be Included in a List Item
(Continued from previous topic...)
Can Multiple Paragraphs Be Included in a List Item?
Yes. You can include multiple paragraphs in a single list item, because "li" is
a flow type element, which can have block elements and inline elements.
The tutorial example below shows you how a list item can have two paragraphs:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Lists with Block Items</title>
</head>
<body>
