 Connected locally path-connected spaces are path-connected

In a locally path-connected space, every path component is open: a path-connected open neighbourhood of a point lies within that point's path component. The complement of a path component is a union of the other open path components, hence is also open. In a nonempty connected space, a nonempty subset that is both open and closed must be the whole space. Thus a connected space that is locally path-connected is path-connected.
