HTML Paragraphs and Line Breaks
A paragraph is a normal block of text. HTML uses the <p> tag for it. Write one idea inside a paragraph. You can have many paragraphs on a page. The browser normally places space between them so the text is easy to read. If you need a line break inside the same piece of text, HTML provides <br>. Use it for a real line break, such as an address or a poem, not just to create empty space. For spacing and layout, CSS is the better tool.
