Paragraph tags
Next, replace Text with the following tag: <P ALIGN=LEFT> This
tag indicates that the following text begins a paragrah which should line
up at the left margin. Every following paragraph will be aligned to the
left margin until you indicate otherwise by a <P ALIGN=RIGHT>,
<P ALIGN=CENTER>, or <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> tag.
Now type (or cut and paste) in your first paragraph. Type a paragraph
tag, <P> before the start of each paragraph.
Line Breaks
The <BR> tag, when inserted will cause text following it to begin
on the next line, but does not indicate the start of a paragraph.
Word Breaks
The tag, <WBR>, in the middle of a word will cause the word to
break to the next line.
Save the file as text
Final and most important step--save the file as an ASCII file and a proper
file name. Under the File menu, go to the Save As... command. Name
the file something followed by .html (don't use any spaces, non-letter,
nor number characters) or .htm. Save the file as a plain text file
(ASCII or TXT).
