When you want to start a new line you can use the <br /> element. So, the next
word will appear on a new line.

Without the line break element, new lines are started only when the sentence reaches the end of the screen; this sentence should be long enough to wrap on your screen. Now try resizing your browser window and see how the position where the line wraps onto a new line changes.

Some Web designers also use this element to control the layout of the document and add extra white space. You can use multiple <br /> elements to create gaps of several lines, like I am about to do




here because this text is still in the same paragraph element. Rather than using the <br /> element to add white space into your documents, it is better to use CSS.
