Above given p=123 is ID number for post structure %post_id%.

Custom structure is selected from last radio options. Selecting this option will help in changing Permalinks structure .These are also described “Pretty Permalinks” giving own custom Permalinks structure.

You can choose from any custom structure for e.g. %post_id%, %postname%, /%year%/%postname%/, /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/, /%post_id%/%postname% .

For e.g. custom structure of /%year%/%postname%/ will be shown as:

You can also prefer short and simple structure %postname%

Notice, the gap in post url words are automatically replaced by -  hyphens which is perfectly OK.
If you like to have html Permalinks structure just add .html. This will not only give static look to site but also encourage search engine spiders to crawl to your site. Php and html extension structure is mostly prominent in php websites.

%postname% will change to %postname%.html

You can also use free plugin .html on PAGES, just download and activate. Do check compatibility with your WordPress version.
