You are on the right track when you talk about a container.
There's another alternative that lets you retain the white-space in the
HTML, which is to use a font-size of zero on some container, and restore
the
font-size on the paragraphs with a value other than EMs or percents.
Keywords, REMs, or pixels will work.
Suppose you wrap the "floating" DIVs in a DIV.container element. (Yes, very
imaginative, I know:) Here I use the keyword "medium". YMMV -
.container { font-size: 0; }
.container p { font-size: medium; }
It definitely has possibilities; now if only there were a property (say)
"transparent-to" that affected interitane : if could, if
"transparent-to" were appropriate specified, write :
.container {transparent-to: font-size; font-size: 0}
and this would then allow inner elements to inherit their
font size directly from the element just outside the container
element.
