Let's go back to our simple page.
<BODY> Something Classical</BODY>
Something Classical |
This is the paragraph tag. Think of a paragraph as a block of text.
<BODY> <P>Something Classical</P> </BODY>
Something Classical |
By itself it doesn't do much. Although with most browsers, starting a new paragraph does have the effect of skipping a line.
<BODY> <P>Something Classical</P> <P>The Cleisthenic redistribution of the Attic Tribes</P> </BODY>

This <P> tag is good for aligning text:.
<BODY> <P ALIGN="left">Something Classical</P> <P ALIGN="center">Aristophanes' Humour</P> <P ALIGN="right">The Wasps</P> <P ALIGN="left"> Something Classical<BR>Something Classical<BR>Aristophanes' Humour</P> <P ALIGN="center"> Something Classical<BR>Aristophanes' Humour<BR>The wasps</P> <P ALIGN="right"> Something Classical<BR>Aristophanes' Humour <BR>The Wasps</P> </BODY>

Something
about the <P> tag... although in the examples above I used a closing
tag (</P>), it is not entirely necessary. Nearly all browsers will
assume that when a new
<P>Some stuff <P>More stuff
is the same as...
<P>Some stuff</P> <P>More stuff</P>
And one more thing before we move on, earlier we were talking about centering things. There's another way to center something: It's pretty self-explanatory. You can center one word or your whole page. Everything betwen the <CENTER> tags gets centered.
<BODY> <CENTER>Something Classical</CENTER> </BODY>
