P

The element <P> is used to denote a paragraph, and is used whenever you wish to separate two blocks of text as logical paragraphs.

The exact rendering (indentation, leading, etc) of this element is not defined and may be a function of other tags, style sheets, etc.

In general you do not need paragraph marks around headings, list elements, ADDRESS elements, or BLOCKQUOTES: these elements manage their own spacing.
