>I am looking at a web site where a text is rendered as paragraphs. For example:
>
>

>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, 
>
>consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh 
>
>volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis 
>

>
>The HTML code (from View Source) for the above paragraphs is something like this:
>
>

><span id="id1" class="unknownclassname">
>   <a href="#">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, </a></span>
>
><span id="id2" class="unknownclassname">
>   <a href="#">consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh </a></span>
>
><span id="id3" class="unknownclassname">
>   <a href="#">volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis </a></span>
>

>
>When I copy the above source into my blank HTML file all text appears as one continuous text, without breaks. As Span tag is supposed to do. Yet on the web site where I see this, it is all rendered as paragraphs. As if instead of Span they used P tag.
>
>Is this in their Span class? Or in other words, if you were to create a style for this "unknownclassname" what would be there to make the text appear in paragraphs?
