Basic block level elements

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.

This is a div element. Authors may use such elements instead
of paragraph markup for various reasons. (End of div.)

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.

Lists

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 menu list:

  • One.
  • Two.
  • Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer so that it will
    probably wrap to the next line in rendering.
  • The following is a dir list:

    This is a paragraph before a numbered list (ol). 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 ».

    1. One.
    2. Two.
    3. Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that if
      items are short, lists look better if they are compactly presented,
      whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
    4. Four. This is the last item in this list.
      Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

    This is a paragraph before a definition list (dl).
    In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated
    definitions.
    But many authors use dl elements for fancy « layout » things. Usually the
    effect is not too bad, if you design user style sheet rules for dl
    which are suitable
    for real definition lists.

    term
    a word or other expression taken into specific use in
    a well-defined meaning, which is often defined rather rigorously, even
    formally, and may differ quite a lot from an everyday meaning

    Text-level markup

    Some of the elements tested above are typically displayed in a monospace
    font, often using the same presentation for all of them. This
    tests whether that is the case on your browser:

    Links

    This 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
    Links Want To Be Links.
