HTML <p> Tag

HTML paragraph is a tag that is used to specify a paragraph to be displayed on the webpage. The text between the starting <p> tag and the end </p> tag represents a paragraph in HTML. There is however no need to add a line of separation before and after a paragraph since an empty line is added before and after a paragraph by the browser itself. Including Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, and Firefox, all the popular browsers support the HTML paragraph tag.
