HTML Paragraphs

Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. This tag comes in pairs.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec non neque nunc.
Nulla a mauris et dui facilisis mattis et vel tortor. Phasellus fermentum mi.
</p>

The paragraph element cannot contain nested paragraph elements or block elements (such as div).
