In this HTML tutorial, you will learn all about the Paragraph Tag in HTML. We will also discuss the line break tag and the horizontal rule tag in HTML.
A paragraph in a webpage is defined by the HTML paragraph or HTML p tag. To demonstrate how it works, let's look at a basic example. It's worth noting that a browser will automatically insert an empty line before and after a paragraph. The <p>
tag in HTML denotes the start of a new paragraph.
<p>This is first paragraph.</p>
<p>This is second paragraph.</p>
<p>This is third paragraph.</p>
Line breaks are made via the HTML <br>
tag, which may be used with paragraph components. The following is an example of how to utilize the <br>
element with the element.
<p>This is first paragraph. <br>
This is second paragraph. <br>
This is third paragraph. </p>
A horizontal line is drawn between two statements or paragraphs using the HTML <hr>
element. The following is an example of how to use the <hr>
tag with a paragraph.
<p>This is first paragraph.</p><hr>
<p>This is second paragraph.</p><hr>
<p>This is third paragraph.</p>
By pressing the space bar or tab key on the keyboard, the browser will normally show the numerous spaces made inside the HTML code as a single space. Multiple line breaks made by using the enter key inside the HTML code are likewise shown as a single space.
<p>This is first paragraph.
This is second paragraph.
This is third paragraph.</p>
Using , <br>
, and other spacing management tools aren't always practical. You can also use the <pre>
tag to show spaces, tabs, line breaks, and other elements precisely as they appear in the HTML file. It's very useful when presenting content that requires a lot of white space and line breaks, such as poetry or code.
<pre>This is first paragraph.
This is second paragraph.
This is third paragraph.</pre>
