Paragraph

HTML browsers ignore white space or non-HTML line breaks, so use <BR> to insert a line break (which retains the current HTML format) or <P> for a new paragraph. When checked, enters the line break or paragraph code whenever you type Return with a modifier key, as shown in the following table:

  Code             Description               Type this to insert:
  <BR>      Line Break                 Shift-Return
  <P>       Paragraph                 Option-Return
  <P></P>   HTML+ Paragraph     Shift-Option-Return

It is neither recommended nor particularly elegant to attempt to create white space using multiple paragraph or line break tags. Browsers may (and should) ignore extra paragraph tags. If you really feel the need to create some space, you might try using a <PRE> section containing a number of return characters. Remember that there is no guaranteed how much space will be created on various browsers. 

Just keep repeating the mantra “I don't care what it looks like, I am content-driven…”
