Topic: paragraph tag makes failure to validate xhtml
this is not xhtml!
like this~
<p><ul><li>item</li></ul></p>
<p><table>~~</table> text <br /><br />text</p>
<p>the message which includes any tags.</p>
i use wordpress. when write the post, wordpress function run to create autoP(paragraph) tag.
2br -> p or separate tag with each other tags.
like this below.
<p>text</p>
<ul><li>item</li></ul>
<p>text</p>
this is wp format function.
function wpautop($pee, $br = 1) {
$pee = $pee . "\n"; // just to make things a little easier, pad the end
$pee = preg_replace('|<br />\s*<br />|', "\n\n", $pee);
// Space things out a little
$pee = preg_replace('!(<(?:table|thead|tfoot|caption|colgroup|tbody|tr|td|th|div|dl|dd|dt|ul|ol|li|pre|select|form|blockquote|address|math|p|h[1-6])[^>]*>)!', "\n$1", $pee);
$pee = preg_replace('!(</(?:table|thead|tfoot|caption|colgroup|tbody|tr|td|th|div|dl|dd|dt|ul|ol|li|pre|select|form|blockquote|address|math|p|h[1-6])>)!', "$1\n\n", $pee);
$pee = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", $pee); // cross-platform newlines
$pee = preg_replace("/\n\n+/", "\n\n", $pee); // take care of duplicates
$pee = preg_replace('/\n?(.+?)(?:\n\s*\n|\z)/s', "<p>$1</p>\n", $pee); // make paragraphs, including one at the end
$pee = preg_replace('|<p>\s*?</p>|', '', $pee); // under certain strange conditions it could create a P of entirely whitespace
$pee = preg_replace('!<p>\s*(</?(?:table|thead|tfoot|caption|colgroup|tbody|tr|td|th|div|dl|dd|dt|ul|ol|li|hr|pre|select|form|blockquote|address|math|p|h[1-6])[^>]*>)\s*</p>!', "$1", $pee); // don't pee all over a tag
