Use of the br (break) tag
Now we are going to learn the use of the <br> (line break) tag.
The br tag will create a break in the sentence without the spacing that we would normally receive by starting a new paragraph.
Leave the first paragraph as a single paragraph.
In the second paragraph place a <br> break tag at the end of the first and
second sentence. Do not leave the blank space after the sentences.
As you can see the second paragraph has the three sentences all placed on separate lines without sentence spacing.
Another popular way to use the br tag is to use it for spacing sentences with-in a single paragraph.
Remove the closing p tag at the end of the first paragraph and the opening p tag of the second paragraph. Place two br tags at the end of the first three sentences. Then view the changes.
