HTML Paragraphs
A paragraph always starts on a new line, and is usually a block of text.

HTML Display
You cannot be sure how HTML will be displayed.
Large or small screens, and resized windows will create different results.
With HTML, you cannot change the display by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code.
The browser will automatically remove any extra spaces and lines when the page is
displayed:
Example
This paragraph
contains a lot of lines
in the source code,
but
the browser
ignores it.

HTML Horizontal Rules
The
tag defines a thematic break in an HTML page, and is most often
displayed as a horizontal rule.
The
element is used to separate content (or define a change) in an HTML
page:
Example
This is heading 1
This is some text.
This is heading 2
This is some other text.

Solution - The HTML
Element
The HTML
element defines preformatted text.
The text inside a
element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually
Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks:
Example
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the
ocean.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
