HTML5 Elements - First markup
Your formatting is a little off,  indentation is very important when reading any code.

I fixed the indentation and I also added some new lines in some of your paragraph tags. they are formatted by the browser pretty nicely so you can added new lines in there to make them more readable with out side scrolling and they will still show up the way you intended.

I also took out all your empty lines, because it is formatted nicely and is easily readable, blank lines make it look messy to me.

                    Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, 
                    when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
                    It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, 
                    remaining essentially unchanged
