These tags are the tags that keep your page together. They define the paragraphs, spaces, and quotes within your page.
<p> - the paragraph tag
This is the paragraph tag. The ending tag </p> is optional in HTML and required in XHTML. Use the paragraph tag anywhere you want a blank line after some text. One thing to remember is that you cannot use multiple paragraph tags in a row. The browsers will simply ignore all but the first tag.
<br> - the line break tag
This is the line break tag. There is no ending tag. Use the <br> tag anywhere you want your text to start on the next line (without a space). Most browsers will assign space for every <br> tag that you use, so if you want a large gap of white space, you can use several <br> tags in a row. (Note: this isn't considered good style, but you can do it.)
<blockquote> - the quotations tag
This is the quotations tag. The ending tag </blockquote> is required. Use this tag to indent quotations a few spaces (how many is up to the browser). If you nest this tag (use several of them in a row), the text will be further indented. Some browsers indent on both sides of the screen, and some only indent on the left.
