HTML Line Breaks

Creating a New Line (<br />)

In your text you will find times within a paragraph that you want to go to a new line without creating a new paragraph. Or times when you want to create more vertical space between elements on a page.

The line break tag (<br />) is like hitting the enter key in a word processor. It will end the line and start a new one. To create more empty lines you can use numerous line breaks in succession.

The line break is one of the html tags that doesn't require a separate closing tag. These tags are an element in themselves and use a slash to close the tag at the end of the opening tag.
