Any amount of white space will automatically be compressed into a single space when your HTML document is displayed in a browser. The easiest way to understand a <P> tag, is to say when a browser reads a <P> tag it will insert an empty line into the document. The only time you would use the closing tag would be when you are aligning the paragraph, the closing tag will tell the alignment when to stop aligning. To use alignment do this:

<P ALIGN="center">your text</P>

The paragraph tag is an open tag, but can also be closed.
