The <p> tag stands for Paragraph. Its main purpose is to organize and structure your text into distinct blocks.
Here is why we use it:
- Grouping Text: It tells the browser that a specific block of text belongs together as a single paragraph.
- Automatic Spacing: Browsers automatically add a little bit of vertical space (margin) before and after every
<p>element. This makes your content much easier to read compared to one long wall of text. - Readability: Just like in a book or an essay, paragraphs help break up information into manageable pieces for the reader.
When you add the code from this step:
<p>This is a paragraph of text...</p>The browser will ensure it starts on a new line and remains separated from your <h1> heading.
Give it a try in your index.html file and check the Web 8080 tab to see how the spacing looks
