HTML: The <br> Break Tag

Your web browser does not recognize extra spaces or hard returns so it relies on the <br> tag for instructions to begin a new line. The <br> tag is an empty tag, which simply means that it does not have a closing tag.

If you want to format your address or a poem, you would use the <br> tag.

Example:

Mary had a little lamb<br>
Its fleece was white a snow<br>
And every where that Mary went<br>
The lamb was sure to go<br>

Displays as follows:

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white a snow
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
