HTML Paragraphs

A paragraph always starts on a new line, and is usually a block of text.

HTML Paragraphs
The HTML element defines a paragraph.
A paragraph always starts on a new line, and browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and after a paragraph.

Example

This is a paragraph.
This is another paragraph.

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 display by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code.
The browser will automatically remove any extra spaces and lines when the page is
displayed:

Example

This paragraphcontains a lot of linesin the source code,but
the browser ignores it.This paragraphcontains
a lot of spacesin the source
code,but the browser ignores
it.

HTML Horizontal Rules
The <hr> tag defines a thematic break in an HTML page, and is most often
displayed as a horizontal rule.
The <hr> element is used to separate content (or define a change) in an HTML
page:

Example

<h1>This is heading 1</h1>This is some text.<hr><h2>This is heading 2</h2>This is some other text.<hr>

The <hr> tag is an empty tag, which means that it has no end tag.

HTML Line Breaks
The HTML element defines a line break.
Use if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:

Example

This is a paragraph with line breaks.

The tag is an empty tag, which means that it has no end tag.

The Poem Problem
This poem will display on a single line:

Example

 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.

Solution - The HTML <pre> Element
The HTML <pre> element defines preformatted text.
The text inside a <pre> element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually
Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks:

Example

<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>
