HTML Paragraphs Elements

HTML Line Breaks

The HTML <br> element defines a line break.

Use <br> if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph.

<p>This is<br>a para<br>graph with line breaks</p>

<br> element is an empty HTML element. It has no end tag.

HTML <pre> Element

The HTML <pre> element defines preformatted text.

The text inside a <pre> element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks.

<p>

<pre>
  My Bonnie lies over the ocean.

  My Bonnie lies over the sea.

  My Bonnie lies over the ocean.

  Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
</pre>

</p>

Don't Forget the End Tag

Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag.

Forgetting the end tag can produce unexpected results or errors.
