Syntax

<p> Content </p>

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML Paragraph</title>
</head>

<body>
    <p>This is first paragraph.</p>
    <p>This is second paragraph.</p>
    <p>This is third paragraph.</p>
</body>

</html>

The <p> tag automatically adds space before and after any paragraph, which is basically margins added by the browser.

Browsers automatically add a single blank line before and after each <p> element.

Paragraphs are block-level elements, and notably will automatically close if another block-level element is parsed before the closing </p> tag.

A paragraph always starts on a new line.

Space inside HTML Paragraph

If you put a lot of spaces inside the HTML <p> tag, browser removes extra spaces and extra line while displaying the page. 

Example

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
