Headings, Paragraphs And Line Breaks.

6 Headings: <H1> ... </H1> to <H6> ... </H6> New Paragraph: <P> New Line (BReak): <BR>

The words you want to appear on a Web page are typed (in your plain text HTML document) between the <BODY> ... </BODY> tags. The basic format of a page uses headings and paragraphs. The following example of the six different size headings is a standard part of most HTML instruction:

<H1> ... </H1> looks like this.

<H2> ... </H2> looks like this.

<H3> ... </H3> looks like this.

<H4> ... </H4> looks like this.

<H5> ... </H5> looks like this.

<H6> ... </H6> looks like this.

The text appearing in paragraphs is usually one size throughout the whole Web page, regardless of what size heading it falls below.

<P> the Paragraph tag is usually like hitting the Return-key two times.
<BR> the new line tag (line BReak) is usually like hitting the Return-key once.

When typing your HTML plain text document, your use of the Return-key is eliminated as whitespace. Therefore a <P> or <BR> tag may be placed:

<P> either at the start of a line or paragraph like this
or at the end of a line or paragraph like this <BR>

However you prefer to position these tags, be consistent about your preference(s) so your HTML document will ne more readable. You may, for example, start each paragraph with a <P> but place <BR> at the end of the line of text which it is cutting off.

In a series of paragraphs, it is a good habit to start the first paragraph with a <P>.

Now try using different headings and paragraphs in an original HTML document. The content doesn't have to make sense, so feel free to be creative.
