Lesson 3: Formatting Paragraphs

Paragraphs can be aligned by using the ALIGN attribute within the <P>tag at the beginning of the paragraph. (Remember to end the paragraph with </P>). They can be:

    left     - This is the default
    right
    center
    justify

There is another tag called Blockquote you can use to format a paragraph. This will indent both the left and right sides of the paragraph. 

    <BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>

See examples below
