HTML <br> Element
The <br> or break tag inserts a single line break into a document.
Example:
Line breaks<br> force a carriage return<br>
and start<br> a new line.
Displays:
Line breaks
force a carriage return
and start
a new line.
The break tag is defined as an empty element because it doesn't contain anything for display. In XHTML empty elements must have a trailing slash /
and an extra space is added for backwards compatibility with HTML user agents - giving you <br />. In HTML it can be written as
<br>.
