This is a paragraph.
This is a tag pair. An HTML tag is a specific keyword* between two angle/pointy brackets. There’s usually a matching closing tag, indicated by the forward slash before the keyword. Together, the opening and closing tags make a tag pair. This particular tag pair is for the HTML element paragraph. It tells the browser that everything between the openingand closing
is a paragraph. *Examples of keywords: p for paragraph, img for image, h1 for heading level 1or
HTML element: the whole thing, content and all, e.g.This is a paragraph.
I’m a paragraph!
Me too!
And this is our CSS: p { color: blue; }I’m a paragraph!
Me too!
And change our CSS to select only paragraphs with that class: p.special { color: blue; }I’m a paragraph!
Me too!
CSS: p#special { color: blue; } Result: I’m a paragraph! Me too! tags or
tags, but
WordPress automatically inserts them behind the scenes.
By default, hitting Enter in the Visual editor will start a new paragraph. To start a new line
instead (i.e. insert a
tag inside the existing paragraph), hold down the Shift key
when you hit Enter.
To add an empty line, go to a new line and hit the space bar (in the Visual editor) or type
(in the Text editor) to insert a non-breakable space.
If you’re really having trouble with spacing in the Visual editor, switch to the Text tab and
clean it up there.
