| Although the <P> tag will move your text to a new line, it places what looks like a "double-space" between the lines. |
| Sometimes this is not exactly the effect that you want for your web page. HTML gives you another way to start a new line directly below the previous one. You can do this with the <BR> tag. Like the <P> tag, this tag has a hint of what it does in its name. It makes a line BReak. |
| If you place some lines of text in your HTML file using both of these tags the difference in presentation will clearly be seen. |
Change the code in your file to look something like:
<P>
This will be my first line of text.
<P>
I am making the second line with a paragraph tag before it.
<P>
This is my third line, I will use a line break tag after it..
<BR>
and my fourth line will be much closer. |
Then the browser will display something like:
This will be my first line of text.
I am making the second line with a paragraph tag before it.
This is my third line, I will use a line break tag after it..
and my fourth line will be much closer.

| We have seen how a HTML file is made up of two sections, a <HEAD> and a <BODY>.
We have learned that the content of the <BODY> section is what is displayed in the web browser.
We have also learned two ways to start a new line of text, by using a <P> tag and a <BR> tag. |
| In the next section, we will see how to increase the capabilities of tags by adding attributes. |
