# br element

Type: | Text Characteristics
Attributes: |
See: | p

The br tag forces a line break at the specified point in the text. The br tag may only be used inside a paragraph.
The recommended way of splitting text into paragraphs is to use the p tag rather than a pair of br tags. We include it because despite that it's still useful.

    <p>
    This is the first line<br/>
    This is the second line<br/><br/>
    That was a blank line
    </p>
