HTML:Element:br

From MDC

[edit] Summary

Line break element produces a line break in text (carriage-return). It is an empty element, so it can't have any content and it can't have a closing tag (</br>). It is useful for writing a poem or address, where it is important to write everything on a new line. In XHTML documents, write this tag as <br />.

  • Allowed content: none

[edit] Example 

Mozilla Foundation<br>
1981 Landings Drive<br>
Building K<br>
Mountain View, CA 94043-0801<br>
USA

Above HTML will output:

Mozilla Foundation
1981 Landings Drive
Building K
Mountain View, CA 94043-0801
USA

[edit] Notes

Do not use <br> to increase gap between text, use CSS margin property or paragraphs (<p>)
