      When I am typing out a paragraph in the <p> element, my text wants to just keep going. How do I get it to automatically go to the next line? Obviously a beginner here.

        If you want your text to go to the next line, you can use the <br> element. that means break, the <br> tag has no end tag that is in the HTML, while in the XHTML the <br> tag must be properly closed. Note that the <br> tag is used to enter line breaks, not to separate paragraphs. For example,

        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
        <body>

        <p>
        To break lines<br>in a text,<br>use the br element.
        </p>

        </body>
        </html>

        here is your output:

        To break lines
        in a text,
        use the br element.

        Please let me know if it is useful. Thank you.
