Courses Plus Student 3,307 PointsIsn't it bad to have <a> outside of <p>?
I learned a little bit of html before starting treehouse, and I remembered that the rule of thumb was to have <a> always inside of block elements such as <p>, yet in the videos, <a> is always put on the outside. What's the reasoning?

This is really about a change that happened in HTML5 making it semantically appropriate to treat links at a block-level if deemed appropriate by the markup and thus removing duplication.
