br element

Type:Text Characteristics
Attributes:
See:p

The br tag forces a line break at the specified point in the text. The br tag may only be used inside a paragraph.

The recommended way of splitting text into paragraphs is to use the p tag rather than a pair of br tags. We include it because despite that it's still useful.

<p>
This is the first line<br/>
This is the second line<br/><br/>
That was a blank line
