Attribute of
HTML P Element: Here's The Code To Identify Paragraph Text
What does <p clear=""> do?
Was used to force a paragraph to appear below sibling elements rather than next to sibling elements within a parent element.

Although some browsers accept the clear attribute of the <p> element, it isn’t included in the specification, and it may not validate or work as expected. Its use is not recommended.
