Microdata in spans instead of divs was created by mcmurdok

Why are you generating the microdata entries by using 'div's?

Code:

'<div style="display:inline" itemprop="'.$itemprop.'" >' .$field->{$prop}. '</div>'

instead of e.g. using a native inline element 'span'?

Code:

'<span itemprop="'.$itemprop.'" >' .$field->{$prop}. '</span>'

Sometimes I combine two fields in one paragraph in my templates but paragraphs don't accept block level elements inside. E.g.

Code:

<p class="created createdby"><?php echo $item->fields['created']->display;?> | <?php echo $item->fields['createdby']->display;?></p>

Code:

<p class="created createdby">
<div style="display:inline" itemprop="dateCreated" >17/02/13</div> | <div style="display:inline" itemprop="author">Administrator</div>
</p>

OK, I could use the prefix and suffix functionality but this would separate the values from each other into 2 paragraphs.

Code:

<div style="display:inline" itemprop="dateCreated" >
<p class="created">17/02/13</p>
</div>
<div style="display:inline" itemprop="author" >
<p class="createdby">Administrator</p>
</div>

but this wouldn't be the same and an unnecessary CSS challenge.

Hello

We use divs,
because the contents of many fields may contain blocks elements
thus using SPANs results in invalid HTML
