Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be exploring the basics of HTML, specifically focusing on creating paragraphs and line breaks. HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It uses tags to structure and format the content.

By the end of this tutorial, you will learn:

• How to create paragraphs using the <p> tag.
• How to create line breaks using the <br> tag.

Prerequisites

No specific prerequisites are required for this tutorial, but a basic understanding of HTML would be beneficial.

Step-by-Step Guide

Paragraphs

In HTML, we use the <p> tag to create paragraphs. The content you want to be in the paragraph should go between the opening <p> tag and the closing </p> tag.

Line Breaks

To create a line break in HTML, we use the <br> tag. Unlike the paragraph tag, the break tag is an empty tag, which means it does not need a closing tag.

Code Examples

Example 1: Creating a Paragraph

<!-- This is a simple paragraph -->
<p>This is a simple paragraph.</p>

In the above example, the text "This is a simple paragraph." is wrapped in <p> tags, making it a paragraph.

Example 2: Creating a Line Break

<!-- This is a line with a break -->
<p>This is the first line. <br> This is the second line.</p>

In the above example, the <br> tag is used to create a line break between the two sentences.

Summary

In this tutorial, we covered the basics of creating paragraphs and line breaks in HTML using the <p> and <br> tags.

If you want to expand your HTML knowledge, you may want to explore how to structure your documents using headers, lists, and tables.

Practice Exercises

Exercise 1: Create a paragraph with the content "Hello, World!".

Solution:

<p>Hello, World!</p>

Exercise 2: Create two paragraphs. The first one should contain the sentence "This is the first paragraph.", and the second one should contain "This is the second paragraph.".

Solution:

<p>This is the first paragraph.</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph.</p>

Exercise 3: Create a paragraph that contains two sentences. The first sentence should be "I am a sentence." and the second sentence should be "I am another sentence.". Use a line break to separate the sentences.

Solution:

<p>I am a sentence. <br> I am another sentence.</p>

Remember, practice is key when it comes to programming. Keep creating different paragraphs and line breaks to solidify your understanding.
