What's so strange about this markup? It's plain html.



He's probably unaware of tag omission[1].

The site uses it incorrectly, though: The <p> tag belongs at the start of a paragraph - it is not a separator like <br>.

It is wrong in a rather odd way. Whoever did it seems to think paragraph tags are just line breaks.


http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/p.html#p-tags <p> don't need closing tags

i prefer closing tags personally, but its not required.


I didn't say they did. They are not positioned as paragraph tags, they are positioned at the end of the paragraphs as if they were line breaks.
