HTML paragraph width not working
<p>I have the following problem: I have set the width of a paragraph, but it doesn't seem to have applied.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;p style=""&gt;
    &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="img/Arraying.png"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="max-width:500px;"&gt;&lt;font size="+2"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arraying: Web &amp; Java Developer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;i&gt;Hey, I'm Arraying. I'm the web and Java developer for Minevelop. My specialities are small, yet complex Spigot plugins, web development, and plugin configuration.
                        &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've been server managing since I was eleven or twelve, and over the years I have gained a lot of experiences.

    &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="img/DomThePotato.png"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="max-width:500px;"&gt;&lt;font size="+2"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;DomThePotato: Lead Java Developer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;i&gt;Hello, my name is Dom, aka DomThePotato, and I am the lead Java developer here at Minevelop. I specialise in utility plugins and everything that is not minigames. With over 1 and a half years of experience, I will be able to get any request done! Also experienced file configurer and backend administrator.

<p>The first paragraph about Arraying seems to work fine, yet the one about Dom just doesn't want to be 500px wide.</p>

<p>I'm really tired, so if the error is completely stupid please forgive me. </p>
