<P> container is used to create a paragraph of text. Anything placed within this container is treated as a single paragraph. <BR> tag may also be used within this container.
Each paragraph is displayed leaving a blank line before it, which is other than the line break created by <BR> tag. By default the text of a paragraph is alignedto the left. However you may align the text or lines of a paragraph differently using the ALIGN attribute with it. As usual this attribute takes one of the three values : left, center and right. Justify alignment is not so far recognised by any browser program.
The following exercise clears the use of this tag.
Exercise:-
Here we have created three paragraphs of text using <P> container elements. Two of these paragraphs have been aligned differently. The resulting output is shown in exercise Note the effect of <BR> tags within between <P> containers which creates an extra line space at one place.
<html> <head> <title> Creating Paragraphs </title> </head> <body> <P>This is the first paragraph of text which has been aligned to left by default. </P> <P align=center>This is the second paragraph which has been aligned to the centre. <BR>This also contains a line break within. </P> <BR> <P align=right>This is the third paragraph aligned right. Note the effect of line break tag before the paragraph container, which creates extra space before it. </P> </body> </html>
