What is it?
The purpose of the P element is to define a paragraph. The exact indentation, leading space, etc. of a paragraph is not specified and may be a function of other tags, style sheets, etc. Paragraphs are typically surrounded by a vertical space of one line or a half line. Additionally, the first line in the paragraph may be indented in some cases.
