Line Breaks
Line breaks are different than most of the tags we have seen so far. A line break ends the line you are currently on and resumes on the next line. Placing <br /> within the code is the same as pressing the return key in a word processor. Use the <br /> tag within the <p> (paragraph) tag.
HTML Code:
<p>
Will Mateson<br />
Box 61<br />
Cleveland, Ohio<br />
</p>
Address:
Will Mateson
Box 61
Cleveland, Ohio
We have created a possible address for a letter head. The line break tag will also come in handy toward the end of our letter.
HTML Code:
<p>Sincerely,<br />
<br />
<br />
Kevin Sanders<br />
<i>Vice President</i></p>
Closing Letter:
Sincerely,
Kevin Sanders
Vice President
Tips
- The line break tag can be placed within other HTML elements such as paragraphs, tables, lists, and headings.
- Use the line break tag to solve minor formatting issues, save larger page layout issues for tables and the align attribute.
- Remember that the line break tag does not require a closing tag.
