<title>Creating Line Breaks Using the <br /> Element</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>When you want to start a new line you can use the <br /> element. So, the next<br />
word will appear on a new line.</p>
<p>Without the line break element, new lines are started only when the sentence reaches the end of the screen; this sentence should be long enough to wrap on your screen. Now try resizing your browser window and see how the position where the line wraps onto a new line changes.</p>
<p>Some Web designers also use this element to control the layout of the document and add extra white space. You can use multiple <br /> elements to create gaps of several lines, like I am about to do <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />here because this text is still in the same paragraph element. Rather than using the <br /> element to add white space into your documents, it is better to use CSS.</p>
