You can use the following tags to separate your document into sections. We have created a document with examples of tags in action.

Note that all these tags except <HR> (horizontal rule) and <BR> (line break) are container tags.

<BR> -- Line break

Starts a new line of text. This is not a container tag; it doesn't need a </BR> tag.

<P> </P> -- Paragraph

Starts a new line with space above it. By default, alignment is flush left. This tag works as a container or non-container tag. For readable code, put these tags before and after every paragraph. Of course, use a <P> to start a new paragraph and a </p> at the end.

An ALIGN attribute will specify the horizontal alignment of a paragraph tag:

<P ALIGN=CENTER> This will be a centered paragraph. </P>
<P ALIGN=RIGHT> This will be a flush right paragraph. </P>

<CENTER> </CENTER> -- Center

Centers text or images.

<BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> -- Indented blockquote

Prints text with an indent on each side. Also starts a new line with space above it.

<PRE> </PRE> -- Preformatted text

Prints text in a monospaced font, exactly as typed in a text editor, preserving all spaces and line breaks. Avoid using other tags inside preformatted text tags.

<HR> -- Horizontal rule

Renders a separating horizontal line. This is not a container tag; it doesn't need a </HR> tag. You can make the line thick with a HEIGHT (in pixels) attribute, or control width with a WIDTH (in pixels or percentage) attribute.
