: The Line Break element

The HTML element produces a line break in text (carriage-return). It is useful for writing a poem or an address, where the division of lines is significant.

Try it

As you can see from the above example, a
element is included at each point where we want the text to break. The text after the
begins again at the start of the next line of the text block.

Note: Do not use
to create margins between paragraphs; wrap them in elements and use the CSS margin property to control their size.

Attributes

This element’s attributes include the global attributes.

Deprecated attributes

Indicates where to begin the next line after the break.

Styling with CSS

The
element has a single, well-defined purpose — to create a line break in a block of text. As such, it has no dimensions or visual output of its own, and there is very little you can do to style it.

You can set a margin on
elements themselves to increase the spacing between the lines of text in the block, but this is a bad practice — you should use the line-height property that was designed for that purpose.

Examples

Simple br

In the following example we use
elements to create line breaks between the different lines of a postal address:

br /> 331 E. Evelyn Avenuebr /> Mountain View, CAbr /> 94041br /> USAbr /> 

Result

Accessibility concerns

Creating separate paragraphs of text using
is not only bad practice, it is problematic for people who navigate with the aid of screen reading technology. Screen readers may announce the presence of the element, but not any content contained within
s. This can be a confusing and frustrating experience for the person using the screen reader.

Use

elements, and use CSS properties like margin to control their spacing.

Technical summary

Content categories	Flow content, phrasing content.
Permitted content	None; it is a void element.

HTML Line Break – How to Break a Line with the HTML
Tag

Kolade Chris

And this is how we can add line breaks to properly format our address:

 
The White House 
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 
NW Washington, DC 
20500

How to Add Line Breaks to Poems

Poems are conventionally written in short breaking sentences in order to create visual hierarchies and format them nicely.

So, if you want to write a poem in your HTML code, the
tag makes the formatting process easier for you.

A poem without line breaks

 
I dabbled around a lot when I decided to learn to code I went from A to Z with resources When I decided to make my own things I discovered I've been in the old all while So I remained a novice in coding But then I found freeCodeCamp I got my hands on the platform I went from novice to ninja in coding And now I'm a camper for life
 

It looks like this in the browser:

You can see the poem has no visual hierarchy, it is not formatted the right way, and so it is unreadable as a poem.

A poem with line breaks

 
I dabbled around a lot when I decided to learn to code 
I went from A to Z with resources 
When I decided to make my own things 
I discovered I've been in the old all while 
So I remained a novice in coding 
But then I found freeCodeCamp 
I got my hands on the platform 
I went from novice to ninja in coding 
And now I'm a camper for life 
 

I also changed the font size a bit in the CSS:

It now looks like this in the browser:

You can see that the poem is now more readable and formatted the right way.

Some valuable advice: Do not use the
tag to force a space between block-level elements ( p , h1 , h2 , h3 , div , etc). Instead, use the CSS margin property.

You might be wondering – since the
tag is an element, is it possible to style it?

Well, it is possible. But there’s no real practical need to style it since all it does is create a couple of white spaces.

Conclusion

I hope this tutorial has given you the background knowledge you need to use the
tag so you can make your HTML text look better.

Thank you for reading, and keep coding.
