br hr blockquote and pre
Control line breaks, thematic breaks, quotes, and preformatted text.
The br Element
The <br> element inserts a line break within text content:
<p>221B Baker Street<br>
London, NW1 6XE<br>
United Kingdom</p>
<!-- Good use: addresses, poetry, lyrics -->
<!-- Bad use: spacing paragraphs — use margin/padding instead -->When to Use br
Use <br> only when line breaks are part of the content:
- Postal addresses
- Poetry with specific line breaks
- Song lyrics
Do not use <br> to add visual spacing between paragraphs — that is a CSS job.
