PARAGRAPH TAGS

The paragraph tag in HTML is represented by <p> and is used to define paragraphs of text. It's one of the most commonly used tags for structuring text content on a webpage.

Defining

The <p> tag is used to format text into distinct paragraphs. Each paragraph element is separated by automatic empty line spaces above and below the content, providing a clear visual separation. The tag must be closed with its corresponding </p> tag.

1    <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
2    <p>This is another paragraph.</p>

Best Practices

It's advisable to use the <p>tag for textual content and not for layout control. For layout purposes, consider using HTML5 semantic tags like <section>, <article>, or CSS techniques.
