I know that this is true, but I have never been able to figure out
*why* this is true. Consider the following:
"Yesterday, I went to the store. At the store I bought eggs, milk,
cheese, and bread. When I came home from the store, I discovered
that all the eggs were broken and the bread was moldy, so I couldn't
have lunch."
It looks to me as though that is a three-sentence paragraph with a
list embedded in the second sentence. Semantically, it makes no
sense to call it two paragraphs with a list between them. So why
does (X)HTML prohibit a list inside a paragraph? Am I missing
something really basic?
Obviously, this has nothing to do with CSS except in a theoretical
sense, so if anyone has that answer, please give it to me off-list.
Thanks,
