<P>...</P> | End Tag: Optional
A P element defines a paragraph structural element in a document. With HTML 4.0, the P element is formally a block-level element, which means that content for a P element begins on its own line, and content following the P element starts on its own line. No other block-level elements may be nested inside a P element. If you omit the end tag, the element ends at the next block-level element start tag. The nature of the P element has changed over time. In early implementations of HTML, the element represented only a paragraph break (a new line with some extra line spacing). Version 4 browsers render P elements in a hybrid way such that the start tag of a P element inserts a line space before the block. This means that a P element cannot start at the very top of a page unless it is positioned via CSS-P. Use the P element for structural purposes, rather than formatting purposes. Content of a P element does not recognize extra whitespace that appears in the source code. Other elements, such as PRE, render content just as it is formatted in the source code.
Example
    <P>This is a simple, one-sentence paragraph.</P>
    <P>This second paragraph starts on its own line, with a little extra
    line spacing.</P>
