Paragraph Tags

Paragraph tags are the most user-friendly of all the HTML tags. Inserted at the beginning of each paragraph, the <p> tag Creates a line break, much like a double space on your word processor. Use it to separate paragraphs just as you would in any other writing. This tag may be used to break a web page up into more easily read sections. There's no need to close off the <p> tag with a </p>; it's implied when you go on to the next tag.

You should try to keep your paragraphs four lines in length, to avoid boring the reader.

The HTML for two plain paragraphs will look something like this:

<p>I REALLY want to learn how to write my own webpages.  It seems that all of my friends are getting the hang of it, so it can't be that hard.

<p>I think I'll just keep studying and doing the best I can. I really doubt that it's as easy as it looks, but it sure seems a worthwhile venture. Who knows? Maybe I'll dazzle all my friends with my abilities in a couple months!

They'll appear like this:
