Synopsis

<BR>

End Tag: Forbidden

The BR element forces a visible line break (carriage return and line feed) wherever its tag appears in the document. Browsers tend to honor the BR element as a genuine line break, whereas paragraphs defined by the P element are given more vertical space between elements on the page. If the text containing the BR element is wrapped around a floating image or other object, you can direct the next line (via the CLEAR attribute or style sheet equivalent) to start below the object, rather than on the next line of the wrapped text.

Example

<P>I think that I shall never see<BR>A poem lovely as a tree.</P>
