Perhaps this goes beyond "introduction", but I sometimes find it useful to put <p> marks inside <li> marks if the list items are full sentences that might span lines. For example:
<ul>
<li><p>The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and then jumped ba
+ck again once or twice, which really annoyed the dog.</p></li>
<li><p>Another paragraph of long text which has no point but to show o
+ff how list paragraphs look when composed of a long sentence that mig
+ht span several lines on the screen and having a little extra white s
+pace would be a kindness</p></li>
</ul>
Result:
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and then jumped back again once or twice, which really annoyed the dog. Another paragraph of long text which has no point but to show off how list paragraphs look when composed of a long sentence that might span several lines on the screen and having a little extra white space would be a kindness

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
