HTML Additions: Paragraphs and Breaks

Let's re-open our first.html file and make some additions.

Remember,

• <p> creates a hard return (2 lines)
• <br> creates a carriage return of 1 line
• <hr> creates a carriage return of 1 line and places a 1 pixel line across the screen.

First, let's add the following sentence below the existing text:

     <p>Without by browser, by HTML is nothing;<br> 
     without my HTML, my browser is nothing...
     <p>I must type quick and true, and develop web-based courses faster than my collegues...
     <hr>who are trying to revoke my tenure...

Your page should have looked like this sample page.

Notice that the <br> tag causes a single line break while <p> tag causes "hard" return of two line breaks.

Also, notice that the <hr> tag caused a line break with a horizontal line in between.

You can "experiment with the <hr> tag by adding height=X or width=X, where X can be a number or percentage.
