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:
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.
