Document Spacing and Defining

Now in this tutorial, we are going to discuss about HTML tags which define the page, like blanks, quotes and paragraphs.

The Paragraph Tag

The paragraph tag, given by <p> , is used for making paragraphs in your text. Its an open tag, which means that the </p> tag is not required. They basically indicate where a new paragraph starts by inserting a blank between successive text. Consecutive <p> tags are ignored by the browser, and each <p> pair should have some text between them for actual count.

This is a test on the paragraph tags in HTML

The tags are working perfectly.

The above code gives the following output.

The Break Line Tag

The break line tag, <br>, is used to start afresh from the next line. This tag is also unpaired , it does not require </br> tag. A couple of <br> can be used to insert blank lines into the Webpage.

This is a test<br>Its working fine

The above code gives the following output.

The Quotations Tag

The <blockquote> is used as the quotation tag, and it is paired, it requires a closing tag. It indents the quotes a few spaces and a couple of these indent them in summation, as per the browser setting.

The sample code below gives the following output

<blockquote>This is a test</blockquote>

<blockquote><blockquote>Its working fine</blockquote></blockquote>

These tags will let you carry out the basic document defining tasks as demonstrated very easily.
