Paragraph

A block of text containing one or more sentences.

Basic Usage

Paragraphs give structure to large or text-heavy documents by breaking the content into more digestible pieces.

To create one, add the class paragraph to an element (typically a p element).

This is a paragraph.

This is a second paragraph. Notice how all paragraphs get their own line.

You can nest other types of elements, like highlighted text, inside paragraphs. However, you should avoid nesting paragraphs within other paragraphs.
