Using <br>

To create a HTML line break, you should apply <br>. However, there is only one styling option for <br> element: you can add a margin attribute. It is not considered as a good practice. For setting spacing between the lines, it is better to apply line-height CSS property.

In the example below, we include HTML line breaks to properly format a postal address:

<address>
  Door No.00,<br>
  Street,<br>
  City,<br>
  State,<br>
  Country.
</address>

Using <br> tag, you can create the single line break HTML document needs.

Remember: use HTML <br> tag only to include an HTML line break, not to create a new paragraph.
