Span and Paragraph Behavior

  • I have inherited a website that uses SPAN to put a box around something to be emphasized in a page. When I use a Paragraph, <P, or a line break, <br, I get unexpected behavior. This is in classic mode.

    If I use a P then the rest of the text seems to get broken out of the SPAN and thus outside the box. I am using P to get a double space between text.

    If I try and use br, then I get a single space. If I use two then WordPress seems to interpret that as a P and the text gets broken out of the box.

    I am not sure if this is theme behavior, WordPress behavior or HTML behavior. Can someone explain this? I find the br behavior especially puzzling.

    I am not sure if this is theme behavior, WordPress behavior or HTML behavior.

    First off, try asking at your theme’s support so its developers and support community can help you with this.
