    have to add a semi-colon after &nbsp

    &nbsp;

    works without it for me, but doesn't clear the W3C checker


    nbsp is for "non-breaking space"

    Why would it? You have nothing between the links


    <ul>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta? </a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics"> Physics? </a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics"> Metaphysics?</a><br/><br></li>

    Put a nbsp; after the "</a>" Also, this is not the way to do this, you
    are abusing the li tag.

    Change your code to this:

            <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics"> Physics?</a></li>

    Then use this css:

            li {
                display: inline-block;
                font-size: 20px;
                padding-right: 30px;

    Put each link in its own <li> element and use CSS to format the list as a single line.

    Stop wanting that, if this means that you have no visible characters
    between them.

    I can get the three links but the underline doesn't seem to break
    between them.

    Well, for some odd reason, the space characters that you have *inside*
    link texts cause this. If you have spaces just *between* them, the
    underline breaks:

    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta?</a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics">Physics?</a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics">Metaphysics?</a>

    For usability and accessibility, links should be separated by something non-blank.

    You really need to learn how CSS works and how creating a class can
    target specific html tags.  The css can be put in a single file as you
    like to do. I won't spend time explaining this to you as you have
    already thrown in the white towel!!.

    Put each link in its own <li> element and use CSS to format the list as a
    single line.


    I prefer a single CSS for my site

    The above is not CSS! It is HTML!

    I did get it working using ...

    &nbsp;

    between the links

    Which is HTML and not CSS!

    Dale:

    Hi!

    I want to have three links on one line.

    I can get the three links but the underline doesn't seem to break
    between them.

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta? </a>

    Well - there are spaces inside the link.

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics"> Physics? </a>

    And here as well.

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics"> Metaphysics?</a><br/><br></li>

    And here also.

    One solution with your code would be:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <style>
    .nowrap { white-space: nowrap; }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h2>Metaphysics in process ...</h2><br>
    <ul>
    <li class="nowrap">
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta?</a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics">Physics?</a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics">Metaphysics?</a>
    <br>
    <br>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </body>
    </html>

    However - why do you create list (<ul>) with only one item (<li>) to
    display three links? What's the point of this? And why the <br> at the end?

    You should really first learn how HTML works at all.

    Why would it? You have nothing between the links


    <ul>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta? </a> >>> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics"> Physics? </a>
    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics">
    Metaphysics?</a><br/><br></li>
    </ul>

    Put a nbsp; after the "</a>" Also, this is not the way to do this, you
    are abusing the li tag.


    I did find &nbsp;

    what is the "abuse"?

    Read the definition for ul and li at W3.

    <https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/#the-ul-element>

    You are not producing an unordered list, you are using the UL and LI
    tags to produce a layout on your screen. That is the role of CSS, not
    HTML.

    it checks using W3C Validator ...

    I didn't say the code was invalid. It can be valid and wrong, as your
    code is.

    if you as &nbsp between the links there is space between the links on
    the same line

    That is not the proper way to do it.

    First, one wonders why you are using an unordered list (“ul” element) if you
    are not using the list.

    Your markup should look as follows instead.

    <ul>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics">Physics</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics"
    >Metaphysics</a></li>
    </ul>

    Next, you would look into formatting the list such that the items are next
    to each other. There are several ways. One of them is the following:

    HTML:

    <ul class='horizontal'>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics">Physics</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics"
    >Metaphysics</a></li>
    </ul>

    CSS:

    ul.horizontal {
    list-style: none;
    padding-left: 0;
    }

    ul.horizontal:after {
    clear: left;
    display: block;
    content: '';
    }

    ul.horizontal li {
    margin-left: 1em;
    float: left;
    white-space: nowrap;
    }

    ul.horizontal li:first-child {
    margin-left: 0;
    }

    If this is your main navigation, you should make it the content of a “nav” element.

    Again: You made it WORSE. Now not only one list element stands for three links, which does not make sense, but also the links will not wrap anymore, producing horizontal scrollbars if the viewport is not wide enough.

    I hate to break it to you, but you have *no clue*.

    Not only *evidently* do you not know the basics, but also HTML from 25 years ago – HTML 2.0 (obsoleted) was published in 1995, which was ≈ 25 years ago, so who cares what you did *more* than 25 years ago? – looks very different from the HTML that we must be writing today as 25 years ago many devices and software applications that can use HTML did not exist yet. I have been
    there.

    Also, there has been growing awareness that Web sites have to be accessible, which in some developed countries is even a requirement for public-service
    Web sites now.

    “One of the great challenges in life is knowing enough about a subject
    to think you’re right, but not enough about the subject to know
    you’re wrong.”

    –Neil deGrasse Tyson

    I strongly recommend that you forget everything that you *think* you know
    about HTML (today), and start learning it from scratch.

    Not necessarily; the labeling can be changed with CSS, for example

    ol {
    list-style-type: lower-alpha;
    }

    But the point they, too, are making, which you are *still* missing, is that
    you are *misusing* the “ul” element:

    A list with *one* item is NOT actually a list.

    So either you should not use a list, or you should make each link a list
    item, ending up with a list of *3 items* containing one link each.

    I'm a CSS beginner

    You are obviously also a *HTML* beginner. Since you probably will have to unlearn nonsense about HTML that you learned at W3Schools, you should start from scratch at

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML/Getting_started

    my style sheet doesn't do much other than allowing for

    1) different layout for computer, laptop/notepad, and smartphone

    How many more times? You are doing it

    *W* *R* *O* *N* *G*!

    So W3Schools (≠ W3C) ist *still* junk? :-(

    You haven’t earned whatever money you were paid for HTML as you know less that a first week student on how HTML and CSS work.

    Probably, especially since there does not seem to be any reason for
    using an <ul> element with a single <li> element inside it. Perhaps the
    author just wanted to have a bullet and did not know how to produce a
    bullet character “∙”.

    A list with*one* item is NOT actually a list.

    I would say it is. Even a list with no items, <ul></ul>, is a list,
    although a very reduced and special case. It might serve as a
    placeholder for a “real” list to come, perhaps via client-side scripting (though one could dynamically generate the <ul> element too, of course).

    A list with a single item might be used, for example, in a context where elements with the same pattern are used to describe something and this
    pattern contains, for example, a list of comments. When there is just
    one comment, it would still make sense to make it a list item, to
    indicate the structural correspondence.

    Either your memory deceives you or you are simply trolling (given your

    There is no “W3”. It has *always* been the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
