paragraph tag:

When a HTML document that uses inline elements is displayed in a browser then any number of white spaces are actually compressed into a single space. As a result, the document looks like a single large paragraph which is not easily editable. So to make it editable easily, it is better to divide the document into sections which is possible with the use of paragraph tag <p>.

paragraph tag

The text enclosed in <p> and </p> tags acts as a single unit. A blank line inserted before and after the paragraph automatically by the browser.

the general syntax is:
                                                          <p> paragraph tag</p>

paragraph tag

the end tag </p> is optional as the browser, automatically understands that when it encounters the <p> tag, the previous paragraph has ended.

you can also align your paragraph to left, right, center, or justify it to the screen of the browser by LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER or JUSTIFY alignment attributes respectively.

for example:

                                        <p align="right"> paragraph text </p>

The <p> tag can also contain inline formatting elements such as <B>, <I> etc. these elements help to format the text contained.
