Creating Paragraphs <P>

Paragraphs are pretty easy to comprehend, but there are a few tricks that you need to know about.

Paragraphs in HTML work the same as they do in word processing. The most important thing to remember is that a browser will insert a blank link before and after a paragraph, so this might not match your design plans. If you do not want a line, you can use the <BR> tag instead.

It is not necessary to close the <P> tag, but most people and all HTML editors do to avoid confusion.

You can choose the alignment of your paragraphs or of each individual paragraph. The browser default is left, and all paragraphs will align left unless you otherwise specify.

Save your file, go to your browser and reload.
