Step 1:  Move to the place in the document where you want the paragraph to start.

Step 2: Type <P> to begin the paragraph

Step 3: Enter the text for the paragraph

Step 4: Type </P> to close the paragraph

Some Problems are that HTML formats text through the use of tags. HTML ignores such things as extra blank spaces, blank lines, or tabs. As far as HTML is concerned, the following three lines of code are identical, so a browser interprets and displays each line just like the others, ignoring the extra spaces and lines.

Example

<H1> To be or not to be. That is the question. </H1>
<H1> To be or not to be.        That is the question. </H1>
<H1> To be or not to be.
                That is the question, </H1>

All displays like this:
 

To be or not to be. That is the question.

The paragraph tag adds an extra line before text to separate it from any text that precedes it.
