BREAKS AND LINES
BREAKS:
Unlike typing on a typewriter, putting words on your homepage does not respond to the normal 'carriage return.' Unless you are using the <tt> font (see fonts discussed in another part of this tutorial), you will need to place the line and paragrapgh breaks using the <br> and <p> commands/tags.
The <br> tag is used when you just want to end one line of text and start another...
The <p> tag is used when you want a blank line placed between the lines of text...
Important Note:
The <p> tag should always precede a line of text. In otherwords, if you want to have a space between a section of text and an image, do not use the <p> tag... Instead use several of the <br>tags... Using the <p> tag before an image is bad HTML coding and may cause a problem for some browsers...
LINES:
The <hr> command/tag can be used to create 'line breaks' such as the one you saw above (right before the 'Important Note'... you can alter it's width, thickness and placement as shown below:
