Title head, and body was covered earlier in Chapter 2 Notes - page 2 so that Lab2 could be completed.  Review these notes again.

Paragraphs and Paragraph Alignment

This is presented again to reinforce the concept of using alignment.  XHTML requires the </p> tag, whereas in HTML the </p> closing tag was optional.  I would recommend to always use the </p> tag.

Code Page
<p>
Demo paragraph text. Demo paragraph text.
</p>

<p align="center">
Demo paragraph text. Demo paragraph text.
</p>

<p align="justify">
Demo paragraph text. Demo paragraph text.
</p>

<p align="left">
Demo paragraph text. Demo paragraph text.
</p>

<p align="right">
Demo paragraph text. Demo paragraph text.
</p>

See this again with more text in the paragraphs.

The default alignment for a paragraph is left alignment, so align="left" really doesn't do anything.
