Paragraph Tag
To create well-structured text in your HTML document, the <p>
tag is essential for defining paragraphs.
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.
While the <p>
tag is straightforward, you can enhance its functionality using various attributes like class or id for CSS styling. You can also include inline styles using the style attribute.
This is a styled paragraph.
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.
