5.3.23 p : Paragraph

The p tag is the paragraph tag. Every description text should be enclosed in a p tag. Only when there is only one paragraph (and no lists or tables or remarks) in a description node, then the p tag may be skipped.

Note that if a description node contains a table, pre, code or any list tag, then the text surrounding these tags must be put inside a p paragraph tag. This is different from the behavior in HTML.

The paragraph tag must always have an opening tag and a closing tag, unlike html where only the opening tag may be present.

Example:

<descr>  
This is a paragraph which need not be surrounded by paragraph tags.  
</descr>

<descr>  
<p>  
This is the first paragraph.  
</p>  
<p>  
This is the second paragraph.  
</p>  
</descr>
