I have elements in the following configuration:

HTML

<article>
<h2><a></a></h2>
<p></p>
</article>

The P element is taking up too much space and the article tag is not resizing

Using styling to fix it, looked it up...
Probably an easy fix that i'm just missing...

You haven't explained what content you're adding within the tags, but from the image it looks like an unbroken string

Try adding style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" (or overflow-wrap: anywhere;)

So

HTML

<article>
<h2><a></a></h2>
<p style="overflow-wrap: anywhere;">eeee...eeeeee</p>
</article>

Happy to help out if you post the actual HTML you're trying to display. Otherwise we're just guessing
