Paragraphs

Almost all non-heading text will be placed within a paragraph element in a web document. Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tags, and the element is written as <p>...</p>.

HTML
<p>This is a paragraph element.</p>

Compare this to Markdown:

Markdown
This is a paragraph.

In markdown, a paragraph requires no extra markup to signify it as such. An empty line between text blocks signifies a new paragraph.
