This is a normal paragraph (p element).
To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was
primarily written for testing the effect of user style sheets.
You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how
your browser displays various HTML elements by default.
It can also be useful when testing conversions from HTML
format to other formats, since some elements can go wrong then.
This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that
the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense. I have selected
those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules,
in my opionion.
div element. Authors may use such elements insteaddiv.)This is a block quotation containing a single
paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not really
quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this
page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.
The following contains address information about the author, in an address
element.
This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (ul). Note that
the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard
to tune in a user style sheet. You can’t guess which paragraphs are
logically related to a list, e.g. as a „list header“.
The following is a dir list:
ol). Note thatThis is a paragraph before a definition list (dl).
In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated

tests whether that is the case on your browser:
This is sample text inside code markupThis is a text paragraph that contains some
inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links
lists) are problematic
from the
usability perspective,
but they may have use as
“incidental”, less relevant links. See the document

contain table header cells (th elements) only; other cells
