<P> and </P>

Description:

Defines a paragraph of text. This is a container and you should include the closing </P> tag, although most browsers do not enforce this.

Attributes:

align=alignment
Determines how to align the paragraph. May have the following values:

CENTER Center the header
LEFT Align to the left
RIGHT Align to the right
class=class
Indicates that the paragraph is to be formatted using the specified class.
dir=direction
Indicates the direction (right or left) that the text is to be displayed. Useful for languages which display left to right.
event=JavaScript
When event occurs, execute the specified JavaScript.
id = "name"
You can give a paragraph a name, which allows it to be referenced and changed in a script (dynamic HTML).
lang="lang"
Indicates the language of the text within the paragraph.
style="style"
Defines the style in which the paragraph will be displayed. This overrides any style elements at an "outer" level, such as from the BODY or the Cascading Style Sheet.
title="title"
You can give a paragraph a title if you want. This provides some additional information about the paragraph. I'm not sure why you would want to do this, but you could.

 

Examples:

<P>A long time ago in a universe far, far away there existed a young man who changed the course of history.</P>

A long time ago in a universe far, far away there existed a young man who changed the course of history.

<P ALIGN=RIGHT>A long time ago...</P>

A long time ago...

Tips:

  1. Be sure and include the closing <P> so you do not have incompatibilities with any browsers.
