Spacing Add white space to the Web Page which affects its structure, layout as well as helps with readability. A web browser is a free-form document meaning that any spaces or blank lines have no effect on the browser unless they are “TAGGED”.

On the Notepad, you can actually use the spacebar, return & tab keys to type the tags, text and the different sections. BUT the Browser will IGNORE all of this. – everything will be as 1 long single spaced line or paragraph. Spacing Continues

Spacing Tags: Line Break: isn’t a set, used to break the line without putting a space between the lines, acts like a Single Space. Paragraph: used to add space between paragraphs, acts like a Double Space. Horizontal Rule: isn't a set, adds a visible horizontal line, used to make sections. You can use as many spacing tags as needed.

Comment Tag When you want to add notes or comments to a section or the entire web page use this tag It doesn’t show up in the browser. Comments should be short. Can be used anywhere in the document.
