Can we have nested P tags? ›

A nested <p> tag refers to a <p> tag that is placed within another <p> tag. This is not a common practice and its not a good practice for the accessibility and SEO of the webpage. Here are some examples of nested <p> tags: <p>This is some text in the first <p> tag.

Among the list, p is not included, so you shouldn't nest a p inside another p. When you use the p tag, by default the element will be a block one. It means that what comes afterwards will be placed on a new line (as opposed to inline elements like <strong> or <img> ).

It is often necessary to code certain tags (and their text) within the definition of other tags (between the start and end tags). This is called nesting. A good example of nesting is the relationship between the DL (definition list) tag, the DT (definition term) tag, and the DD (definition description) tag.

The HTML <p> element defines a paragraph. A paragraph always starts on a new line, and browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a paragraph.

The <header> and <footer> elements also shouldn't be nested inside themselves. The difference between these two and the <main> element is that you can have multiple <header> and <footer> elements in a document, if you're using them inside <main> , <section> , <article> , <aside> , or <nav> elements.

The section tag can be nested. The font size of subsection is smaller than section tag if the text contains the same font property. The subsection tag is used for organizing complex documents. A rule of thumb is that section should logically appear in outline of the document.

Text can either be placed by itself or in paragraphs, but it's generally bad practice to place text by itself. Later on, when you get onto styling and CSS, you'll be able to change your text's colours, fonts, size, etc. If your text is in a p tag, you know that you can tell CSS to make your desired changes to 'p'.

⟨ div ⟩⟨/ div ⟩ tags can be used inside of ⟨p⟩⟨<p⟩ tags. It's OK to put HTML tables inside <p></p> tags.

Not it is not, p is a block element, but cannot contain other block elements, only inline ones. (at least in HTML4, but I don't think HTML5 changes this behaviour). Hmm, according to MDN, you can put a form in a p , but actually what happens is that the end of the p is at the beginning of the form, so not very useful.

What order should nested tags be closed in? ›

Nesting Best Practices

Note that it is recommended to always close nested tags in the reverse order that they were opened. For example, in the example below, the <em> tag closes first as it was the last tag to open. The <strong> tag closes last as it was the first to open.

Yes, span tags can be nested. This allows for applying multiple layers of styling or functionality to a section of text. However, be mindful not to overcomplicate your document structure, as deep nesting can make your HTML hard to read and maintain.

The <p> tag defines a paragraph. Browsers automatically add a single blank line before and after each <p> element. Tip: Use CSS to style paragraphs.

The p element is an example of a block level element. Each new paragraph tag will appear on its own line vertically. Paragraphs with longer content will stretch all the way to the edge of the page.

Yes, you can add a <span> inside a <p> element in HTML.

It's not possible to put < div > inside a < p > or a < h1 > tag. If you add < div > within these tags they will be broken. So whenever you need to supply custom styles inside the < p > tag or < h1 > tag, use < span >.
