HTML Tutorial/Paragraphs

The Element

To create a paragraph, simply type in the ¹ element with its opening and closing tags:

<html>
   <head>
      <title>first page</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <p>This is a paragraph. </p>
      <p>This is another paragraph. </p>
   </body>
</html>

Browsers automatically add an empty line before and after a paragraph.

Single Line Break

Use the  ² tag to add a single line of text without starting a new paragraph:

<html>
   <head>
      <title>first page</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <p>This is a paragraph. </p>
      <p>This is another paragraph. </p>
      <p>This is <br /> a line break </p>
   </body>
</html>
