<p> Starts and finishes a paragraph. Properties that can be assigned to paragraphs are text alignment and stylesheets.

Text alignment can be set to left, center, right and justify e.g:

<p align="justify">
</p>
<br> This is a line break within a paragraph. You can't use it to assign properties and it doesn' need a end tag.  
<blockquote> Blockquote indents a section of text such as a paragraph.
 </blockquote>
<hr> Breaks up text with a horizontal rule. Properties you can assign to it include Width (in pixels or percent), height (size in pixels) align (left, right or centre) and noshade. e.g:

<hr width="80%" size="5" noshade align="right">

if you assign noshade you get a flat rule like this

<font> indicates font - use this to define font face, size and colour e.g. <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4" color="#cc3333">

Remember you normally only use a limited range of typefaces that are likely to appear on most computers, and then you provide alternatives. The most common options are:

Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif

Times New Roman, Times, serif

Courier New, Courier, mono

Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif

Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
I'm also using Webdings nowadays, to give myself a set of symbols, and it's workrd on every computer I've been on.

<ul> Unordered List, more commonly known as a Bullet List. </ul>
<ol> Ordered List, otherwise known as a numbered list. </ol>
<li> This tag goes inside a list to identify a new line so the following code:

would define the following bullet list of websafe colours:
  • Darkgoldenrod
  • Cyan
  • Gainsboro
It has no end tag
