HTML Paragraphs

The HTML <p> element defines a paragraph.

A paragraph always starts on a new line, and browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a paragraph.

You cannot be sure how HTML will be displayed.

Large or small screens and resized windows will create different results.

With HTML, you cannot change the display by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code.

The browser will automatically remove any extra spaces and lines when the page is displayed:

Code:

<p>

This paragraph

contains a lot of lines

in the source code,

but the browser

ignores it.

</p>

Preview:

This paragraph contains a lot of lines in the source code, but the browser ignores it.

The HTML <br> element defines a line break. The <hr> element is used to separate content (or define a change) in an HTML page
