When to use vs. [closed]

Answer 1

They serve two different functions.

(paragraph) is a block element which is used to hold text.
is used to force a line break within the

element.

Example

Suspendisse sodales odio in felis sagittis hendrerit. Donec tempus laoreet
est bibendum sollicitudin. Etiam tristique convallis
rutrum. Phasellus 
id mi neque. Vivamus gravida aliquam condimentum.

Result

Suspendisse sodales odio in felis sagittis hendrerit. Donec tempus laoreet est bibendum sollicitudin. Etiam tristique convallis
rutrum. Phasellus id mi neque. Vivamus gravida aliquam condimentum.

Update

Based on the new requirements, I would personally use

to achieve the spacing as well as allow for styling. If in the future you wish to style one of these parts, it will be much easier to do so at the block level.
