> If hypothetically 10% of the population said A but you slice up B into specific enough buckets then A wins even if the overwhelming majority dislike A. Yes, if you're only allowe…

Okay, let's go over this then. First, let's talk about the basic case where there's no whitespace between the two paragraphs. Paragraph 1 Paragraph 2 In this case, the first can be…

In this comment section? Are you talking about stuff like the example I used earlier? Yes, obviously this is bad and nonsensical HTML. Under no circumstances does it make sense to …

I don't understand what you mean. Please elaborate. That quote says that is not needed in many cases. When you say "none of those clauses apply to ", this is true, you can't omit ,…

Although there are some other uses for , it is perfectly valid to use tags for textual paragraphs and that has been the main use for for as long as HTML has existed. I'm not sure w…

What's not in the spec? Every example in the article is valid HTML, and the article itself, which is written in the same style, is valid as well: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=h…

One interesting detail is that a lack of deep nesting was in fact a deliberate design goal for HTML originally, to make WYSIWYG editing more feasible. http://info.cern.ch/hypertext…

Were the five unclosed runs before the five closed runs? I could see that making a difference vs. interleaving them, if the hardware needs to "warm up" first. For me, on Firefox on…

I can't verify your numbers. As far as I can tell, loading a ~900,000 word document with no other differences than including or excluding has about the same load time, though there…

You have to know about what breaks out of tags regardless of whether or not you leave off the end tag, though. is invalid HTML because ends the paragraph, resulting in an unpaired …

Okay, I've gotten a bit carried away with HTML spec minutia elsewhere in these comments, mainly because this stuff really isn't common knowledge among web developers and it's hard …

This is not quite right. The HTML spec specifies not only what browsers/user agents are allowed to do, but also what document authors are allowed to do. While the HTML parser does …

Just to add to this, HTML parsers will attempt to make sense of any random line noise you give it and turn it into a DOM. When I say something is "invalid" HTML, what I mean is tha…

Oh, for sure, actually parsing HTML was awful before HTML5. The spec sometimes diverged from how browsers actually interpreted HTML, and error correction basically boiled down to b…

I mentioned "block elements" in my other comment, but to be clear, CSS has no effect on how HTML is parsed, so the display property isn't relevant here. Furthermore, you need to kn…

Yes, that is a case where it's not legal to omit ` ` if you don't want the image to be inside the paragraph. Take a look at the spec[1], which outlines exactly when it is valid to …

Well, then they were wrong, because it's always been part of every HTML spec. Perhaps they were thinking of XHTML, which did require all tags because it was based on XML.

Just to clarify, HTML5 didn't introduce this, it's been the case since at least 1993. https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_1.html

I'm pretty sure they're talking about Japan, not the US.

It's not one server, he's obtained control over the whole Freenode network.

I think you misunderstood the comment you're replying to. They're saying Andrew Lee is the one crapping on the channel owners by hijacking their channels.

Effectively, each server ticket increases your upload limit by 200 MB, permanently. I'd imagine things could add up with custom graphics and things like that, but I have no idea ex…

No, but SmileBASIC itself supports a USB keyboard and mouse.
