Html new line character
In HTML, there are several ways to represent a new line character:
- BR Tag: The
<br>
tag is used to insert a line break. It is an empty element, meaning it does not have a closing tag.
Example: <br>
- BR Element: The
<br>
element is similar to the<br>
tag, but it is a self-closing element, meaning it does not have a closing tag.
Example: <br />
- Line Break: You can also use a line break character (
\n
) in your HTML code. This is useful when you need to insert a new line in a string of text.
Example: <p>This is a paragraph of text.\nThis is another line of text.</p>
- HTML Entity: You can also use an HTML entity (
) to represent a new line character.
Example: <p>This is a paragraph of text. This is another line of text.</p>
- CSS: You can also use CSS to insert a new line character using the
white-space
property.
Example: <p style="white-space: pre;">This is a paragraph of text.\nThis is another line of text.</p>
Note that the <br>
tag and <br />
element are the most commonly used methods to insert a new line character in HTML.
