Explanation:
- This HTML document demonstrates how to set bottom padding for paragraph elements using CSS.
- CSS comments are added to explain each section of the code.
- Two CSS rules are defined:
- p.w3r: Applies to paragraphs with the class "w3r" and sets the bottom padding to 3 centimeters.
- p.w3r1: Applies to paragraphs with the class "w3r1" and sets the bottom padding to 20% of the height of its containing block.
- Paragraph elements with different classes are used to demonstrate the application of different padding styles.
