HTML Paragraph
An HTML paragraph is a block-level element used to display a block of text on a webpage. It's created using the <p>
tag. Each paragraph element creates some space before and after the text, separating it from other elements on the page.
Basic Example
Here's a simple example of an HTML paragraph:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Paragraph Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a simple paragraph. It is enclosed in <p> tags.</p>
</body>
</html>
Multiple Paragraphs
You can have multiple paragraphs in a document, each enclosed in its own <p>
tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Multiple Paragraphs</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the first paragraph. It introduces the content.</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph. It provides additional details.</p>
<p>This is the third paragraph. It concludes the discussion.</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML Paragraphs with Formatting
You can include formatting tags within paragraphs, such as <strong>
, <em>
, and others:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Formatted Paragraph</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This paragraph contains <strong>strong</strong> and <em>emphasized</em> text.</p>
</body>
</html>
Important Points
- Whitespace Handling: HTML collapses multiple spaces into a single space. If you need to preserve whitespace, consider using CSS or HTML entities like
. - Line Breaks: To insert a line break within a paragraph, you can use the
<br>
tag, though this is usually better handled with CSS for styling purposes.
