HTML PARAGRAPHS

Understanding HTML Paragraphs: A Beginner’s Guide

Paragraphs are one of the most important building blocks of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), which is the foundation of every webpage. We will go into great detail about HTML paragraphs in this blog article, including their functions and useful applications for organizing web content.

An HTML Paragraph: what is it?

HTML uses the tag to define paragraphs. Dividing ideas or informational portions into separate tags, this tag allows the break up of long text blocks and makes content easier to read. A beginning tag and a ending tag enclose each paragraph.

Syntax:

<p> This is my first paragraph. </p>

This code will be shown as a text block in a web browser, separated from other elements by space above and below.

Features Of HTML Paragraphs

1. Block-level Element: begins on a new line and occupies the entire width.
2. Automatic Spacing: Paragraphs are automatically padded by browsers.
3. Text Wrapping: The paragraph’s text automatically wraps around itself.
4. Non-Block-level Nesting: Unable to include more block-level components.
5. CSS Styling: CSS makes customization simple.

Some Tags Used In HTML Paragraphs

The <pre> tag:

To show preformatted text in HTML, use the tag. Text enclosed in elements is shown precisely as it exists in the HTML source, with a fixed-width font that maintains line breaks and spaces.

Syntax:

<pre>-----content you want-----</pre>

The Tag:

A new line is created without the beginning of a new paragraph using the HTML’s tag element. is used to transition to the following line without starting a new paragraph.

Syntax:

<br>----write you content---

The <hr> Tag:

A horizontal rule or line is created by the HTML <hr> tag to visually divide information on a webpage. To add a horizontal line that clearly defines a gap in the page’s visual design between sections or parts, use <hr>.

Syntax:

<hr>

NOTE*: and <hr> tags have no closing or ending tag. They are open tags.

Examples Of HTML Paragraphs

Example 1:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <h1>CODERSHOT</h1>
    <p>
        <pre>

            Preformatted text's second line.
        </pre>
        <br>
         This follows preformatted text with a line break.
        <hr>
        The rule that follows the line break is horizontal.
      </p>
