How do I create paragraphs, line breaks, and spaces?

  1. Here is an example using the paragraph <p> tag:

    What you type in:
    line1
    <p>
    line2

    What you see on your page:
    line1

    line2

    As you can see, there is a complete line of space between line1 and line2.

  2. Here is an example using the line break tag <br>:

    What you type in:
    line1
    <br>
    line2

    What you see on your page:
    line1
    line2

    As you can see, there is no space between line1 and line2. By including the <br> tag, line2 is placed on the line right below line1.

  3. Here is an example of using the space &nbsp; tag:

    What you type in (this is three in a row):
    line1
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    line2

    What you see on your page:
    line1    line2

    As you can notice, we used three &nbsp; tags in a row. This is because each &nbsp; tag creates only one space.
