HTML - Tag

HTML   tag is used to break line in a text. When the division of a line is required. Being an empty tag, it is not dependent on an end tag. The tag behaves just like pressing the enter key in a word workstation, when it is used in the HTML code.

In HTML, a paragraph usually begins on a new line, but what if you want content within a paragraph to begin on a new line. In that scenario’s we are going to use the HTML line break.

Example of HTML br Tag

In the bellow examples we will witness the usage of br tag in HTML document, and in how many ways we can use the br tag on our webpages.

Breaking a Paragrapgh Element

In the following example, let's see the usage of the element in the HTML documents.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <p>
      Geckos are a group of usually small, usually nocturnal lizards. 
      <br> They are found on every continent except Antarctica. 
   </p>
</body>
</html>

Using br tag for Input field

Considering the following example, where we are going to use the tag to display each input field in the new line.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <form>
      <input type="text" placeholder="Enter your name" />
      <br>
      <input type="phone" placeholder="Enter your phone" />
      <br>
      <input type="email" placeholder="Enter your email" />
   </form>
</body>
</html>

Applying Clear attribute on Paragraph

Let's look at the another scenario, where we are going to use clear attribute on the tag. There is no floating element so the output will seem normal.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <p>
