<p id="one">This paragraph of text has padding on the left and
right, but not on the top and bottom.</p>
<p id="two">This paragraph has padding, but this time only on the
top and bottom.</p>
<p id="three">Be careful when using margins. They don't necessarily
apply to the text within the box, but to the box itself.</p>
