I'm trying to display a paragraph that has a centered
phrase,
such as this one,
in the middle of the paragraph. An example is the section
"End of semester project" on my course-page
http://www.math.ufl.edu/~squash/course.calc3.html
================================================== ==========
In the past, I have used this structure:
<p>I'm trying to display a paragraph that has a centered
phrase,
<center>such as this one,</center>
in the middle of the paragraph.</p>
This, or with the <centerreplaced by
<div align="center">.
In both cases, the text displays the way I would like.
Alas, the page doesn't validate completely at
http://validator.w3.org/
Rather, I get this error:
Error Line 377, Column 7: end tag for
element "P" which is not open.
My *guess* as to why this is happening is that the
presence a of a block element (either "div" or "center")
inside of a <pis causing a </pto be inserted before
the block element.
================================================== ==========
It would not be disaster if I had to typeset this as
<p>I'm trying to display a paragraph that has a centered
phrase,</p>
<center>such as this one,</center>
<p>in the middle of the paragraph.</p>
but I'm wondering if I can
* typeset it as a single paragraph, the way I think of it,
* have a centered fragment (like a "displayed equation" in
a mathematics textbook)
* have the document validate.
