[favor] why the linebreak?

#1

My page http://www.math.wustl.edu/~msh210/whatsnew.xml (with XSLT and CSS
adding formatting) has a paragraph-type break after "Subscribe to this
feed" which, afaIct looking at the source code, shouldn't be there. You
can check the entire source, but here's what I think is the relevant part:

----------begin whatsnew.xml
[...]<?xml-stylesheet href="whatsnew.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> [...]
----------end whatsnew.xml

----------begin whatsnew.xsl
[...]<link rel="stylesheet" href="whatsnew.css" type="text/css" />
[...]<body>[...]<div>[...]
<address><a href="./">Home page.</a></address>
<address><a href="legal.html#c">Copyright info.</a></address>
<div><p>Subscribe to this feed</p>
<ul class="menu"><li>[...]</ul></div><hr/></div>[...]</body>[...]
----------end whatsnew.xsl

----------begin whatsnew.css
@import "basic.css";
li:before{content:" | "}
ul.menu{display:inline;clear:none}
hr,div{clear:left}
address{float:left;margin-right:1em}[...]
----------end whatsnew.css

----------begin basic.css
[...]p,address{text-align:left;font-weight:normal;
margin-left:0;margin-right:0}[...]
p,address,ol,ul,dl,hr{margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:0;
padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0}[...]
address{display:block}[...]
ul.menu{font-size:xx-small;margin-left:0;padding-left:0}
ul.menu li{list-style-type:none;display:inline}[...]
----------end basic.css

----------begin UA output
[...]

I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide to figure out why that
linebreak is there (after "Subscribe to this feed").

p> is a block element. There is always a line break after a block

element. There is nothing in the CSS that would change the default
"display:block" property of the paragraph.

Thanks so much. I thought setting the next element (ul) as display:inline
would get rid of the linebreak. Guess not. Thanks again,

Nothing? Try:

<p style='display:inline;'>1
<p style='display:inline;'>2
<p style='display:inline;'>3

Michael, please start your signature with -- on it's own line,
