All web browsers will read the paragraph break tag correctly. The problem is when you attempt to apply style sheets. If you do not have individual paragraphs enclosed within the opening and closing paragraph break tags, your styles won't work correctly. The is important because right now, most people see HTML as part of their weblog or on-line journal (or whatever) and such programs use style sheets to achieve their layout. So forgetting that closing tag means cats and dogs living together: total chaos. But if you are making a plain HTML page, then you can feel free to leave off the closing paragraph break tag. And the best thing to have when writing HTML is a good reference book. One important note about the paragraph break tag .
