Customer Street advice on using the PARAGRAPH tag in your website coding.

What is the PARAGRAPH Tag ?

The paragraph tag defines a paragraph. A paragraph should start with <p> and end with </p>. Everything in between these tags will be in the paragraph.

Example

Example Paragraph Tag

Some Optional Attributes

align=”left” - Tell the text to align to the left.

align=”right” - Tell the text to align to the right.

align=”center” - Tell the text to center align.

align=”justify” - Tell the text to justify to both left and right sides.

So your paragraph would look like

<p align=”right”>This paragraph will be right aligned</p>

Standard Attributes

id, class, title, style, dir, lang, xml:lang

These will be explained in more detail in future posts

Event Attributes

onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmouseover, onmousemove, onmouseout, onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup

These will be explained in more detail in future posts

Why is the Paragraph Tag important ?

The paragraph tag is important as it defines all the paragraphs in your code. Without this there would be hardly any formatting to your page.
