Line break

To <br>, or not to <br>,
That is the question

The tag <br> can be used to force a line break in special circumstances.
It should not be used indiscriminately in place of the paragraph tag <p>,
and should not be used to create empty space.

This is an empty element, that is, there is no terminating </br> tag. In XHTML it would be written as <br/> to make clear that it is an empty element.
