HTML Paragraph

HTML Paragraph
HTML paragraph or HTML p tag is used to define a paragraph in a webpage. Let's take a simple example to see how it work. It is
a notable point that a browser itself add an empty line before and after a paragraph. An HTML <p> tag indicates starting of new
paragraph.

Note: If we are using various <p> tags in one HTML file then browser automatically adds a single blank line between the
two paragraphs.
See this example:

1. <p>This is first paragraph.</p>
2. <p>This is second paragraph.</p>
3. <p>This is third paragraph.</p>

Output:

This is first paragraph.

This is second paragraph.

This is third paragraph.

Space inside HTML Paragraph


If you put a lot of spaces inside the HTML p tag, browser removes extra spaces and extra line while displaying the page. The
browser counts number of spaces and lines as a single one.
