WML Formatting

Paragraphs and Line Breaks
The <p> tag is primarily used as a container for text and other WML tags. This tag causes a line break to occur, in that the flow of text and images is halted on the current line, and resumes on the next line. Thus, each <p> element starts on a new line in the display. Note that no additional blank line is inserted such as with the HTML <p> tag.
Remember, text in WML cannot stand alone, but must be contained in an element.
This tag can be used to set the alignment and line wrapping values for a paragraph which is accomplished using the align and mode attributes.

The <br> tag ends the flow of text and images on the current line and starts a new line at the left margin of the display. This is commonly referred to as a line break. This is a self-closing tag.
