21.1.2.2.6 p

This element specifies the presence of a paragraph of text within the containing text body. The paragraph is the highest level text separation mechanism within a text body. A paragraph can contain text paragraph properties associated with the paragraph. If no properties are listed then properties specified in the defPPr element are used.

[Example: Consider the case where the user would like to describe a text body that contains two paragraphs. The requirement for these paragraphs is that one be right aligned and the other left aligned. The following DrawingML would specify a text body such as this.

<p:txBody>
  …
  <a:p>
  <a:pPr algn="r">
  </a:pPr>
  …
  <a:t>Some text</a:t>
  …
  </a:p>
  <a:p>
    <a:pPr algn="l">
    </a:pPr>
    …
    <a:t>Some text</a:t>
    …
  </a:p>
</p:txBody>

end example]
