Is <p> </p> to add spacing in website content bad for accessibility?
Example:
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>Stuff here</p>
… (more paragraphs and stuff)
<p> </p>
<h3>Next Title</h3>
<p>Stuff here</p>
Basically the title. Currently in the middle of accessibility remediation for my workplace’s website. There’s a check on our automated tool for “All p elements are not used as headers.”
Someone mentioned <p> </p> “is more than likely the cause of this issue.”
So if it’s bad for accessibility then what are good alternatives to add spacing in page content? I’m a bit confused on this one.

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
