HTML PARAGRAPH
HTML documents are divided into paragraphs.
HTML Paragraphs
- Code:
The HTML <p> element defines a paragraph
EXAMPLE
- Code:
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>
HTML Display
You cannot be sure how HTML will be displayed.Large or small screens, and resized windows will create different results.
With HTML, you cannot change the output by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code.
The browser will remove extra spaces and extra lines when the page is displayed.
Any number of spaces, and any number of new lines, count as only one space.
Example
- Code:
<p>
This paragraph
contains a lot of lines
in the source code,
but the browser
ignores it.
</p>
- Code:
<p>
This paragraph
contains a lot of spaces
in the source code,
but the browser
ignores it.
</p>
Don't Forget the End Tag
Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag:- Code:
Example<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is another paragraph
The example above will work in most browsers, but don't rely on it.
Forgetting the end tag can produce unexpected results or errors.
HTML Line Breaks
The HTMLelement defines a line break.
Use
if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:
- Code:
<p>This is<br>a para<br>graph with line breaks</p>
The <br> element is an empty HTML element. It has no end tag.
The Poem Problem
Example
- Code:
<p>This poem will display as one line:</p>
<p>
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
</p>
The HTML Element
The HTML element defines a block of pre-formatted text, with structured spaces and lines.
To display anything, with right spacing and line-breaks, you must wrap the text in a element:
Example
- Code:
<p>This will display as a poem:</p>
<pre>
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
</pre>
