The <br>
tag is used to create a line break in the text. It’s one of the simplest HTML tags and has no closing tag, meaning that you don’t need to use </br>
it at the end of the line.
Here is an example of how to use the <br>
tag:
<p>This is a line of text.</p>
<p>This is another line of text.</p>
<p>And here's a third line of text.</p>
In this example, each <p>
tag creates a new paragraph, and the <br>
Tag is used to create a line break between each paragraph. This will result in the following output:
<p>This is a line of text.</p>
<br>
<p>This is another line of text.</p>
<br>
<p>And here's a third line of text.</p>
As you can see, the <br>
Tag creates a new line within the same paragraph. It is important to note that the <br> tag does not create a new paragraph but creates a line break within the same paragraph.
The following attributes can be applied to the <br>
tag:
- Clear: This attribute specifies whether the line break should clear any floats that are present in the container. The possible values for this attribute are “left,” “right,” “all,” and “none.”
- Title: This attribute adds a tooltip to the element.
For example, if you wanted to create a line break that clears any left floats and has a tooltip that says “Line Break,” you would use the following code:
<br clear="left" title="Line Break">
