 by: Mike Copeland - Sat, 4 Jun 2022 19:56 UTC

I recently received code for a Web site I've been asked to maintain.
It uses a tag I don't understand, nor can I find explanations of it. It
is used thusly:

<o:p></o:p></p>

In the CSS style thaere is no "o" declaration, so I'm mystified. Any
ideas? Please advise. TIA

It's been a while since I have seen html generated by word, but that I
think my be left over from that process.

If there is no style or js for it, you should be able to remove it
safely. Perhaps even run it through HTML tidy.

Escape the colon character. e.g.

o\:p { background: red }

The accepted answer to a question that is essentially the same
says about the same, with some extra information. Microsoft software
creates tags like <o:p> in generated HTML to ensure that the HTML
document can be converted back to an Office format without losing anything.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7808968/what-do-op-elements-do-anyway

However, the answer is over ten years old, and things have probably
changed. Office 365 does not seem to generate such tags. It generates
bulky data in the <head> part, presumably serving similar purposes.

So when you see <o:p>, the document was probably generated by an old
version of Office software (most probably Word). It serves no other
purpose than letting Office somehow restore the Office document from
which it was generated ā€“ and even this may fail nowadays. Web browsers
simply ignore the tags as unknown. Well, to be exact, not quite.
Browsers generate an element node in the document tree in the internal
representation (DOM tree). This has no affect as such, but if you e.g.
traverse the tree in JavaScript, such nodes will be encountered. Or you
could even style them yourself. But I cannot imagine a situation where
you might want to do that.
