Paragraphs

The P element is used to markup paragraphs. It is a container and requires a start tag. The end tag is optional as it can always be inferred by the parser. User agents should place paragraph breaks before and after P elements. The rendering is user agent dependent, but text is generally wrapped to fit the space available.

Example:

    <P>This is the first paragraph.
	<P>This is the second paragraph.

Paragraphs are usually rendered flush left with a ragged right margin. The ALIGN attribute can be used to explicitly specify the horizontal alignment:

align=left
The paragraph is rendered flush left.
align=center
The paragraph is centered.
align=right
The paragraph is rendered flush right.

For example:

<p align=center>This is a centered paragraph.
<p align=right>and this is a flush right paragraph.

The default is left alignment, but this can be overridden by an enclosing DIV or CENTER element.
