The difference between the <p> and <pre> tags in HTML lies mainly in how they handle the formatting and display of text content.

The <p> tag defines a paragraph. It is used for regular blocks of text and browsers automatically add space (margin) before and after each <p> element. Inside a <p>, multiple spaces and line breaks are collapsed into a single space, so white space and newlines in the HTML code are ignored. To create a line break inside a <p>, you need to use the <br> tag. Paragraph text automatically wraps according to the width of its container.

In contrast, the <pre> tag defines preformatted text. Text inside a <pre> is displayed exactly as written in the HTML file, preserving all spaces and line breaks. Typically, <pre> text is displayed in a monospaced (fixed-width) font, like Courier. This tag is useful for displaying code snippets, ASCII art, or any text where the formatting including whitespaces and line breaks must be preserved precisely. Unlike <p>, the width of a <pre> element does not adapt by wrapping text but retains its original formatting.

To sum up:

• Use <p> for normal paragraphs where the browser handles spacing and line breaks automatically.

• Use <pre> when you want to preserve exact spacing and line breaks as written in the source, most commonly for code or fixed-format text.

This distinction also has semantic importance for accessibility, search engines, and styling, as <p> indicates a standard paragraph of text, while <pre> indicates preformatted content with a specific visual structure
