<p> stuff</>
<p> stuff</>
<p> stuff</>
</div>
.inabox defines what the 'box' will look like (background color, border, padding), the <p> still does the rest of the work.

W3Schools is a great tutorial site
Thanks! What I'm reading is, because the above example does just that--defining exactly what the blockquote is doing--either one would suffice.

--And thanks for the tip on W3Schools. When I'm not living here, it seems I live over there. Great stuff, presented well, and gives you the opportunity to Tryit (and Messitup ).
