Paragraphs and Breaks

Although you have the ability to separate paragraphs by opening and closing the <p> tag, you can also add line spaces on your page by using the break tag <br />.
This sentence appears on the next line because I added a single break tag before it.

This sentence leaves an empty line after the previous sentence, because I chose to separate it using two break tags. I am going to test something by hitting the enter key on my keyboard five time starting here and ending here. Hmmmm.... as you can see, hitting enter within notepad made no difference to the look of the text in the browser. Now I am going to replace hitting the enter key five times with five break tags staring here




and ending here. Much better!

Keep in mind that this page contains only one set of paragraph tags.
