   For some reason, <hr> and bq. are being marked as invalid when I use <hr> or bq. or
   

   in Textile. Is there any way around this?

   <hr> is a nice way of subdividing my posts.
   bq. or

   are nice ways of quoting other people.

   Here are my validation results: http://snipurl.com/xhtmlvalidate

   I notice that both elements are within tags. Is this the cause of my problem?

   Indeed it is not allowed to have hr and/or blockquote within a p element.

   Aha! Thanks. Is there anyway around this in Textile?

   OK, I have worked out what the problem was with the blockquotes. I should not use the built-in WordPress <blockquote> buttons to create blockquotes. Instead I should use the bq. Textile command instead.

   Now I just need to work out how to make horizontal lines in Textile. Any ideas? Can I escape Textile somehow?

   Screw it. I just took the <hr /> tags out, as I want a validating page.

   If anyone can think of a solution, please let me know.

   :)

   CSS. Horizontal lines are most likely presentation elements, so should be coded in CSS rather than (X)HTML.
