Paragraphs on the web are created using HTML paragraph tags, which insert a blank line to separate paragraphs. Heading tags already create a line break so a paragraph tag is not needed before a heading. To separate major sections, the horizontal rule tag can be used along with attributes to style the line. The line break tag inserts a break within a single paragraph.

2. Paragraphs A web browser will ignore all of the CARRIAGE RETURNS typed into your text editor. However, when the browser sees the paragraph tag, it inserts a blank line and starts a new paragraph.

3. Tags Paragraph Tag <p></p> Heading tags have a built in break so it is unnecessary to put <P> tag before a header tag.

4. Other Types of Breaks To separate major sections of a web page, use the horizontal rule tag. This inserts a straight line. Tag: <hr> (NOTE: You do not need to end this tag)
