## Definition and Usage

The <p> tag defines a paragraph.

The p element automatically creates some space before and after itself. The space is automatically applied by the browser, or you can specify it in a style sheet.

## Differences Between HTML and XHTML

All "presentation attributes" of the p element were deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

## Optional Attributes

DTD indicates in which DTD the attribute is allowed. S=Strict, T=Transitional, and F=Frameset.

Attribute | Value | Description | DTD
--- | --- | --- | ---
