HTML Paragraphs

HTML paragraphs are applied to add text to a document in a way that automatically adjusts the line endings to fit the browser window size.

Each line of text extends the whole length of the window. The  tag defines a paragraph. The use of  is optional.

HTML automatically adds blank lines before and after a paragraph.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <p>HTML Paragraphs</p>
</body>
</html>

Attributes

Some significant attributes of paragraph tags are as follows:

Align: It indicates the arrangement of paragraphs. The possible values are left, right, and center. The default value is left.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <p align="center">HTML Paragraphs</p>
</body>
</html>

The above code displays text one in the center of the page.

Horizontal Line

The <hr> tag in HTML stands for “Horizontal Rule”. It is a self-closing tag used to create a horizontal line or rule to separate content within a web page. We use it to divide sections of web pages or indicate a thematic break between content sections.

Here is a basic example of <hr> tag:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <p>Horizontal line.</p>
    <hr>
    <p>Horizontal line example</p>
</body>
</html>

In the above example, the <hr> tag creates a horizontal line between the two paragraphs.

The horizontal rule can be customized using CSS to modify color, width, height, and style.

Line Break

The tag in HTML stands for “line break”. Users use it to insert a line break, or in other words, to create a new line within the text. The tag doesn’t have a closing tag.

Here’s a basic example of the tag:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <p>Here is the example of line break.
    <br> 
    This text is on a new line.</p>
</body>
</html>

In the above example, the   tag inserts a line break between the two paragraphs, causing the second paragraph to start on a new line.

The   tag is commonly used when you want to break lines within a paragraph, such as in addresses or poems, or to add extra space between lines of text.
