Paragraph <p> vs. Break <br>

The Heading tag is used to change the size of the font used. H1 is the largest down to H6 which is the smallest. I use H1, H2 and H3. I stay away from H4, H5 and H6. In Netscape, they are very hard to read.

H6 is very hard to read

Logical Styles are styles such as STRONG or EM (for emphasis). Most browsers show them as bold and italic, respectively. But, in theory, they could be shown in different colors or styles.

Physical Styles are styles such as BOLD or ITALIC.

The paragraph and break tags are not containers - there are used singly, not in tag pairs. The paragragh tag <p> is like two returns in a word processor. It ends a line and puts a blank line before the next text displayed. The break tag <br> is like a single return. No extra blank line is inserted. Multiple break tags create multiple blank lines. Multiple paragraph tags are collapsed into one blank line.
