             <Problem With <P> Tag in GENERAL Doctype>
    
    Has anyone encoutered the following error with the <P> tag?
    The first time it is used after a <HEAD1> or <HEAD2>, it
    creates a new paragraph, but does not skip a line.  Subsequent
    <P> tags in the first or second level section do create a new
    paragraph and do skip a line.  
    
    Has anyone encountered this problem and does anyone have a 
    workaround?  Thanks

|     Are you sure that you followed the <head>(...) tag with a <p> tag?
    
    If you follow a <head> tag with text, then use a <p> tag,
    the <p> tag is mixed up about what it is doing.  This is incorrect:
    
    <head1>(The Meaning of Life)
    This section presents the meaning of life in seven simple ...
    
    This is correct:
    
    <head1>(The Meaning of Life)
    <p> This section presents the meaning of life in seven simple ...
      
    If you don't have the <p> to identify the text that follows the
    <head> tag, the NEXT <p> gets messed up.  Was that the problem?

| Also, your doctype may specify that there is no vertical space between the head and the first line of text. In any event, the <p> tag is needed for the reason Bill gave. | |||||
