Introduction

HTML groups text blocks using paragraphs. A paragraph starts on a new line, and browsers add space above and below it. The browser removes extra spaces and line breaks in the source code.

Syntax

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

Example

1<!-- this is a paragraph example -->
2<!DOCTYPE html>
3<html lang="en">
4  <head>
5    <meta charset="UTF-8">
6    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
7    <title>Paragraphs</title>
8  </head>
9  <body>
10    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
11    <br>
12    <p>This is another paragraph.</p>
13  </body>
14</html>
