Information Object

Line Break

Definition

A line break refers to the forcible division of text onto separate lines. Text is sometimes presented with no punctuation separating different segments but with each segment appearing on a line by itself. When it is necessary to preserve these separations a line break should be forced.

Syntax and Markup

This is an empty element (i.e., only a single tag ending in “/” is used, rather than the usual start and end tags).

Example

<code>while( i &lt; limit ) <br/>

i++;<br />

</code>
