Please excuse my ignorance, but I'd like clarification
on the "<P>" element.  Does this tag denote an _end_ of
paragraph mark or a _begining/new_ paragraph mark?  In 
other words, which of the following should appear in a
proper HTML document?

<P>This is a paragraph.

or

This is a paragraph<P>

Thanks!
