HTML PARAGRAPH

HTML paragraph is represented by <p> tag. Paragraph has both opening and closing tags and content is written within the opening and closing tag. like: <p> ... </p>

Here is an Example:

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

Output:

The element <p> is used to define paragraphs in HTML.

• <p> tag automatically adds space before and after any paragraph.
• If there are multiple spaces added in content within the <p> tag then browsers ignore multiple spaces and treat them as only single spaces.
• If there are multiple lines given in any paragraph then also browsers ignore multiple lines and treat them as single lines. See the example below.

<p>This       paragraph has multiple     spaces.</p>
      <p>This paragraph
      has multiple
              lines but browser
              omits them.</p>

Output:

HTML Line Breaks

Line break in HTML is defined by <br> tag.

In case you want to change the line in the paragraph then you can add the <br> tag and line will be changed.

Note: In HTML Writing <br> is sufficient but in XHTML you have to close the tag by writing  <br /> .

Here is an example:

<p>This paragraph has Break <br> Line.</p>

Output:

HTML pre Tag

As mentioned above <p> tag omits multiple spaces and multiple lines.And there are many cases when you have to put multiple lines as well as spaces.In such case you can use <pre> tag. <pre> tag preserve both multiple lines and space.

<pre>Pre tag store
              both multiple   space

          and multiple line.</pre>

Output:

Pre tag store
              both multiple      space

          and multiple line.
