It's also something finally fixed in the drafts of xhtml2, where p is given a more reasonable content model. div is essentially p with fixed content model, so often it makes more sense to translate paragraphs in other formats (docbook, tei etc all allow block level content in paragraphs) to html div rather than p. > I would be very glad if someone would know of a solution, since right > now, I make all a <div> and this is surley not, how HTML should be > marked up. It seems perfectly sensible to me, although the alternative is to group the block elements and close and re-start the p's code to do that is posted often enough (there was a thread last month if I recall) The reason why most language formats (other than html) allow block level constructs in paragraps is that most natural languages allow that. If I say that a) it's reasonable to have a list mid sentence, b) it's reasonable to have a sentence mid paragraph, and so c) it's reasonable to have a list mid paragraph then the natural way to mark up taht is as a list within a paragraph.
