Line Breaks (<br />)
Line breaks allow you to stay within the same block level element (a heading or paragraph, for example), but force part of it to display on the next line. Here are some examples:
<h1>Tomorrow's Legacy:<br />
Shouldn't we Start Today?</h1>
<p>The only way to wake up in a better tomorrow...<br />
is to start working towards better goals today.</p>
The above examples will display as follows in a browser:
Tomorrow's Legacy:
Shouldn't we Start Today?
The only way to wake up in a better tomorrow...
is to start working towards better goals today.
Here are a couple of points worth remembering about line breaks:
- Don't use multiple line breaks in a row. If you need to increase the space between objects, use CSS instead
- Don't use line breaks to imitate the effect of paragraphs. Use paragraphs when paragraphs are appropriate.
