HTML - Paragraph
HTML documents are divided into paragraphs. Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.
Example:
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>
Note: Browsers automatically add an empty line before and after a paragraph.
Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag:
Example:
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is another paragraph
The example above will work in most browsers, but don't rely on it. Forgetting the end tag can produce unexpected results or errors.
Note: Future version of HTML will not allow you to skip end tags.
Use the <br /> tag if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:
Example:
<p>This is<br /> a para<br />graph with line breaks</p>
The <br /> element is an empty HTML element. It has no end tag.
In XHTML, XML, and future versions of HTML, HTML elements with no end tag (closing tag) are not allowed.
Even if <br> works in all browsers, writing <br /> instead is more future proof.
