HTML Paragraphs

A paragraph always starts on a new line, and is usually a block of text.

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.

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

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

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

HTML Horizontal Rules

The <hr> tag is an empty tag, which means that it has no end tag.

The HTML <br> element defines a line break.

Use <br> if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:

<p>This is<br>a line break.</p>
