Purpose
editIn some instances, it is not possible to introduce paragraph breaks using newlines alone. For example, within a list item and within references. However, using <p> tags can cause problems for navigation with screen readers, which expect these tags to delimit paragraphs of prose. This template is used mostly in footnotes, where a visual break is desired, without adding an additional paragraph navigation point.
