### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <p>

`<p>` | (paragraph) marks paragraphs in prose.
Attributes | Global attributes and those inherited from chunk
Example |
    <p>Hallgerd was outside.
    <q>There is blood on your axe,</q> she said.
    <q>What have you done?</q>
    </p>
    <p><q>I have now arranged that you can be
    married a second time,</q> replied Thjostolf.</p>
    <p><q>Then you must mean that Thorvald is
    dead,</q> she said.</p>
    <p><q>Yes,</q> said Thjostolf.
       <q>And now you must think up some plan for me.</q>
    </p>
Note | In some contexts, the paragraph may have a specialized meaning, e.g. in the tag set for dictionaries, `<p>` is used to enclose any running text, and thus does not imply text set off as is conventionally done in running prose.
