P tag

Paragraph - <P> - </P>

Previous- OPTION - List option | Next-PARAM - Parameter

Description
It is not strictly necessary to use the closing tag because the next instance of the <P> tag will end the previous paragraph, however we recommend that the closing tag is always included. The align attribute which could be used to align text within the paragraph is deprecated under HTML 4.0 and is now handled by the STYLE attribute which offers more complete text formatting. Align is however still very useful, especially when set to center or justify.
