VGAR Content Requirements
Content
Lists and Paragraphs (CON-WEB-004)
Use lists to markup groups of items and p for blocks of text
Make sure that paragraphs are coded using the appropriate tag so they are interpreted as paragraphs.
Also, make sure that content which is grouped in a list format conceptually is presented using the correct ordered or unordered list markup. Items such as navigation and tabs should be marked up with lists also.
