sololearn html basics do tags in within a tag reset tag modifiers

going through sololearn htm basics "this is also text" shows as align left but the paragraph is modified by align center does the <br /> tag reset the modifier for the parent tag if yes how do i set it again to center or is the way sololearn displays it incorrect, if correct would the better way to declare it be a separate paragraph or would this affect the way it displays on some browsers or affect indexing for search engines https://code.sololearn.com/WA18a22a18A1

MaxBanter The problem is not <br />. The problem is <hr />. You can't have horizontal lines inside p tags. A simple solution is closing the p tag before using hr, and then opening another p tag, like so <p align="center">This is some text</p> <hr align="center" /> <p align="center">This is also some text</p>

Also... avoid using the align attribute as it is a legacy attribute that is considered bad practice in HTML5.

Agree with David Carroll . Once you complete the HTML course, go onto the CSS course. You will mostly be using CSS for most of the styling. You will hardly use these attributes.

MaxBanter yes. In HTML, you define what the *content* of your webpage is. In CSS, you define what the content looks like, for example, the color of text, borders etc.
