Paragraphs
Paragraphs are undoubtedly the most commonly used text HTML element. A block of text on Wikipedia? A paragraph. A block of text in news articles? A paragraph. This text? A paragraph.
Simply put, when we need to write a larger amount of text, we generally use paragraphs. We create them with the p element (p stands for paragraph), which you already met in the previous lesson:
<p>I am a paragraph</p>For clarity, we will remove the document type declaration, the html element and the head element from the editor, as we will not be working with them for now. From now on, the editor shows only the body element. However, remember that the rest is still there in the background to ensure your page is displayed correctly.
You don't have to retype the long sentences from the instructions. Just copy them.
