graphics, colors and much more. There are six levels
of headlines, ranging from <h1>…</h1> to <h6>…
</h6>. Here is an example of the code for some of
the headline sizes:
<h1>Level 1 Headline</h1>

Paragraphs & Line Breaks
To add space between paragraphs you use the
paragraph tag:
<p>…</p>
This is a container tag and must have a beginning
and an ending.
To add a single line of space, you use break tag:
<br>
This is an empty tag and stands alone. You can use
the <br> tag to insert one or more blank lines.
