If vertical whitespace is required (why?), use CSS properties. Unfortunately, browsers do not treat those sequences as empty...
FYI: This annoying bug is still visible :-(
This is strange. I use Mozilla for the following.
As an anonymous user, when viewing the entire page source, the p/br/p sequence appears after the weblinks:
<h2>Weblinks</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/ruskin/default.htm" class='external' title= "http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/ruskin/default.htm">http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/ruskin/default.htm</a></li> </ul>
<p><br /></p> <p><br /></p>
Selecting everything from Weblinks until the categories, and clicking "view selection source", I get this, not including p/br/b:
<h2>Weblinks</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/ruskin/default.htm" class="external" title="http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/ruskin/default.htm">http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/ruskin/default.htm</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="catlinks"><p class="catlinks"><a href="/w/wiki.phtml?title=Spezial:Categories&article=John_Ruskin" title="Spezial:Categories">Eingeordnet unter</a>: <a href="/wiki/Kategorie:Brite" title="Kategorie:Brite">Brite</a> | <a href="/wiki/Kategorie:Maler" title="Kategorie:Maler">Maler</a> | <a href="/wiki/Kategorie:Englischsprachiger_Schriftsteller" title="Kategorie:Englischsprachiger Schriftsteller">Englischsprachiger Schriftsteller</a>
Using Lynx to get the source (as anonymous user, no cookies set, I get the later version, without p/br/p sequence.
