I am a newbie and I'm trying to put a solid yellow line below a single paragraph in a page of text. I tried using div and included the entire page content in the div container. Then I put the border style in the element for the div container but the border displays at the bottom of the page and not at the bottom a the paragraph where I want it to. How do I code to get the border at the bottom of the paragraph with some padding between the paragraph and the border? Thanks, I am definitely a newbie and appreciate the help.

You can use inline styling to get your border
