Now that you have a page title and several headings, you can
add some ordinary paragraphs to the page.
The first version of HTML specified the <p> tag as a
one-sided tag. There was no corresponding </p>. and the <p> tag was
used to indicate the end of a paragraph (a paragraph break), not the beginning.
So, paragraphs in the first version of HTML looked like the following:
Slowly and deliberately, Enigern approached the mighty
dragon. A rustle in the trees of the nearby forest distracted his attention for
a brief moment, a near fatal mistake for the brave knight. <p> the dragon
lunged at hi, searing Enigern armor with a rapid blast of fiery breath. Erigeron
fell to the ground as the dragon hovered over him. He quickly drew his sword
and thrust it into the dragon’s chest. <p>
Most early browsers assumed that paragraphs would be
formatted this way. When they came across a <p> tag, these older browser started
a new line and added some extra white space between the line that just ended
and the next one.
As of the HTML 4.02 standard, paragraph tags are two-sided <P/>
indicates the beginning of the paragraph. The closing tag is no longer optional
, so rather using <p> to indicate where one paragraph ends and another
begins, you enclose each paragraph within a <p> to indicate where one
paragraph ends and another begins, you enclose each paragraph within <p>
tag . so, the erigeron story would look like this.
<p> slowly and deliberately, erigeron approached the
might dragon. a rustle in the trees of the nearby forest distracted his
attention for a brief moment, a near fatal mistake for the brave knight. </p><p>
the dragon lunged at him, searing engineer’s armor with a rapid blast of fiery
breath. Engiern fell to the grounds the dragon hovered over him, he quickly
drew his sword and thrust it into the dragon’s chest. </P>.
At this point, you should be wrapping you paragraphs inside
opening and closing <p> tags. Older browsers accept this usage just fine,
and it’s up to speed with the current standards. Although at one time it was
optional to use the closing </p>tag, it’s required under the XHTML 1.0
recommendation because all tags must be closed.
Some people prefer to
use extra <p> tags between paragraphs to spread out the text on the page.
Again, he’s the cardinal reminder: design for content, not for appearance. This
is also an area wirer browsers are inconsistent. Some of them won’t add space
foe empty <p> tags at all. Besides, these days controlling white spa e is
best done witches figure 4.3 shows what happens when I add another paragraph
about enegern and the dragon to the page. The paragraph breaks are added
between the closing and opening <p> tags in the text.
