<p> or <div>?

Dec 17.2009

Here is some sample information:

[CODE]
1. Thrust
(4-0)
8. Blanks
[/CODE]

Now should the markup be

[code=html]
<p>1. Thrust</p>
<p>(4-0)</p>
<p>8. Blanks</p>
[/code]

or

[code=html]
<div>1. Thrust</div>
<div>(4-0)</div>
<div>8. Blanks</div>
[/code]

considering the lines aren’t really paragraphs?

@svidgenDec 17.2009 — P should really only be used for strictly textual "paragraphs." They should not contain other block-level elements. And even then, I'd prefer the DIV over the P. Default styles and restrictions on P's have given me some troubles in the past ...

@FangDec 17.2009 — The global structure of an HTML document -> div

Text -> p

Definitely the p element, unless the OP explains why random these characters appear on a page?

Well, if it were in a list, it would be like this:

[code=html]
<li>
<div class="team1">1. Thrust</div>
<div class="games">(4-0)</div>
<div class="team2">8. Blanks</div>
</li>[/code]

or

[code=html]
<li>
<p class="team1">1. Thrust</p>
<p class="games">(4-0)</p>
<p class="team2">8. Blanks</p>
</li>[/code]

@CFHuttonDec 18.2009 — I have no idea what those pieces of text have to do with each other, so no way to give you a suggestion on how to treat them.

@unigogoDec 19.2009 — I think either is acceptable.
