HTML <br> Tag

The HTML <br> tag is used for creating the 'br' element, which represents a line break in an HTML document.

The <br> element is classified as a "void element" as it has no content. This also means that no end tag is required (or allowed for that matter).

The <br> tag must be used only for line breaks that are actually part of the content, as in poems or addresses. It should not be used for separating thematic groups in a paragraph. To separate thematic groups, use multiple <p> tags instead.

Also see the <wbr> tag for specifying a line break opportunity.

Syntax

The <br> tag is written as <br> at the point where the line break should occur.

Like this:

Line 1<br> Line 2

Examples

Addresses

One good example where the <br> tag can be used is for presenting addresses (such as street addresses). This is because addresses usually have one or more line breaks as part of the content.

<address> African Wildlife Foundation<br> Ngong Road, Karen<br> P.O. Box 310, 00502<br> NAIROBI, KENYA </address>

Poetry/Lyrics

Another example of <br> usage is with poetry or song lyrics.

<blockquote> Love is not a thing to understand.<br> Love is not a thing to feel.<br> Love is not a thing to give and receive.<br> Love is a thing only to become<br> And eternally be. </blockquote> <cite>Sri Chinmoy</cite>

Line Breaks and CSS

Although it is used for creating a line break, the HTML5 specification allows for the <br> element to be styled in such a way that the browser does not render line breaks. In particular, it reads:

While line breaks are usually represented in visual media by physically moving subsequent text to a new line, a style sheet or user agent would be equally justified in causing line breaks to be rendered in a different manner, for instance as green dots, or as extra spacing. - HTML5 Specification

The <wbr> Tag

Also see the <wbr> tag for specifying a line break opportunity.
