HTML Paragraph

HTML can divide the document into several paragraphs.

HTML Paragraph

Paragraph is defined by the <p> tag.

Note:Browsers will automatically add blank lines before and after paragraphs (</p> is a block-level element).

Don't forget to close the tag

Even if you forget to use the closing tag, most browsers will correctly display the HTML:

The examples work fine in most browsers, but don't rely on this method. Forgetting to use the closing tag will produce unexpected results and errors.

Note:In future HTML versions, it is not allowed to omit the closing tag.

HTML Line Break

If you want to break a line without creating a new paragraph (new line), use<br><br> tag:

<br /> element is an empty HTML element. Since there is no meaning to the closing tag, it does not have a closing tag.

HTML Output - Use Reminder

We cannot determine the exact effect of HTML being displayed on the screen. The size of the screen and the adjustment of the window can lead to different results.

For HTML, you cannot change the output effect by adding extra spaces or line breaks in the HTML code.

When displaying the page, the browser removes any extra spaces and blank lines from the source code. All continuous spaces or blank lines are considered as one space. It is worth noting that all continuous blank lines (lines) in the HTML code are also displayed as one space.
