Line break element (<br />)

Line break is used to determine single line breaks, equivalent to carriage return. Actually a line break is a carriage return ( ), a line feed ( ) or a carriage return / line feed pair.

This element is used to force a line break at the current line of text.

To prevent line break between words the &nbsp; can be inserted as a space between them.

Line break is an empty tag, therefore the closing tag is forbidden.
