You CAN write HTML code from scratch

The "Break" or <BR> tag


The information is there, but it is hard to read; the words and sentences are jumbled together. Another HTML tag is the <BR> tag. Commonly called the "Break" tag, it inserts a manual carriage return - as if you hit the [Enter] key - that allows you to break your sentences so they are more easily read.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 //EN">
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Cyberperson's First Web Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
This web page belongs to Cyberperson.<BR> I live in Los Angeles.<BR> I work for Calliope Studios.<BR> I have a dog named Remington.<BR> My hobbies are cooking and movies.<BR> </BODY>

</HTML>

It is also easier for you to check your code if you type each separate sentence on its own line, followed by the break tag, like this. Press [Enter] to move down each time.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 //EN">
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Index.htm - My First Web Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
This web page belongs to Cyberperson.<BR>
I live in Los Angeles.<BR>
I work for Calliope Studios.<BR>
I have a dog named Remington.<BR>
My hobbies are cooking and movies.<BR>
</BODY>

</HTML>

Either way, it displays the very same way on the web page; it's just easier to read the code this way.

Note: You may have caught this already, but the <BR> tag is one of the few HTML tags which have no logical closure. Therefore, it is not necessary to close the break tag.
