Overview

In this lesson you will learn about creating paragraph text in HTML using p tags.

p Tags

The p tags are used to create paragraph elements on a web page. This is the normal size text. Think of a blog post that has a title, maybe a subtitle, the date, and then the general body of the post. The body text is typically going to be made using p tags. Browsers will render this in the default font-size, which is typically 16px, unless otherwise specified. The font-weight will be normal, unlike the headings, which are bold.

<p>This is a paragraph. It is a distinct section of writing made up of one or more sentences that maintain a single theme.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph. The web browser will display a new paragraph on a new line with some spacing between them.</p>
