HTML Line Breaks Cont.

The <BR> element forcibly breaks (ends) the current line of text.

Example:
The <BR> tag interrupts the normal line filling and word wrapping of paragraphs within an HTML document.

It has no ending tag, but simply marks the point in the flow where a new line should begin. Most browsers simply stop adding words and images to the current line, move down and over to the left margin, and resume filling and wrapping.

This effect is handy when formatting conventional text with fixed line breaks, such as addresses, song lyrics, or poetry.
