Html: What is the correct order of and tags?

Question

Which of the following, if either, is correct by standards?

Answer 1

Inline elements such as <a> are often contained within block-level elements such as <p>. The block elements provide the structure needed to present your data.

Answer 2

You can't wrap a block element with an inline element. You have to do this in that way:

<p><a href=''>Link Description</a></p>

This is W3C standard. Check this!

Answer 3

The first example is only allowed in HTML5.

The second example is allowed in all versions of HTML/XHMTL.

Answer 4

As of HTML 5, anchor tags (<a></a>) are allowed to wrap around almost anything, including paragraphs. So either example is valid, although I tend to prefer having anchors inside paragraphs.

Answer 5

anchors (a) should be inside a block element. So

<p><a>...</a></p>

Answer 6

I always put the <p> tags inside unless the amount of text is large.
