HTML Syntax

<br
   class = classname
   clear = all | left | right | none
   id = value
   style = css properties
   title = text
>

The BR element specifies a break in a line of text, but does not add extra space before the new line. If text is wrapping around an element such as an image, the clear attribute can be used to force the text to continue its flow at the next clear line, that is, until it stops wrapping around the element.

The BR element does not use an end tag.
