<br />

PURPOSE: To force a line break in the page.

This is one of those tags that is different. There is NOT a </br> tag. It is all incorporated into the one tag. Note there is a space between the br and the /.

Below is a basic html document. The referenced html tag is in RED. All tags must have a start and a end tag. Most end tags have a / before the tags name, however there are a few that are done differently. The tags that end differently will be noted and highlighted. The order of the start and end tags is also very important to proper display of your page in a web browser.


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title> The Page Title Goes Here </title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
The line break will break the paragraph here<br />
and the new line begins below it.
