What markings are you talking about? Where are you seeing them?

I think you are talking about the HTML tags that you can use in episodes to get the layout you want. In summary:
<p> Starts a new paragraph.
<br> "break" - Starts a new line (like <p> but without a blank line in between).
<hr> "horizontal rule" - puts a horizontal line all across the page. Useful for indicating that you are shifting to a different place or time.
<i> and </i> turn italics on and off.
<b> and </b> turn boldface on and off.
<u> and </u> turn underlining on and off.
JH is Correct

Yeah, those are just the allowed HTML tags for episodes within Extend-A-Story. I believe JH has documented all of the allowed tags, and what they do. Let me know if you have any further questions.
About the markings.

What exactly is the reason for the tag <P>? Why can't we just press return to space out our sentences. Let me guess. It's used so that people don't make 10 spaces in between sentences, right?

Web pages, including episodes of our addventure, are written in HTML - HyperText Markup Language, in which <p> says that you want to start a new paragraph. If you try to get a newline by pressing Return, it will just be ignored. That's not a decision made by Sir Toby but just the way that HTML works.
