Click the checkbox
as you complete each step (double-click to erase).
Click the View It
button for the Student Blackboard below. Notice that the browser displays
a single paragraph. (Feel free to close the example browser example
window after you see the results.)
Insert multiple blank spaces
in the middle of the paragraph, as well as multiple blank lines, in
the Student Blackboard...in fact, go hog wild with the spacing! Then,
click the View It button. Notice that the browser still only
displays a single paragraph, demonstrating that spacing itself is
ignored in the HTML file unless it is spacing defined by HTML elements.
Insert the <P> tag
anywhere in the middle of the paragraph and click the View It button.
Notice that the browser displays two separate paragraphs.
Insert the <BR> tag
where you inserted blank spaces above and click the View It button.
Notice that, while blank spaces are ignored, the <BR> tag is
not!
Insert the <HR> tag in the middle of the file and click the
View It button....see how it draws a separator line that
runs the width of the browser window?
