Breaking up your text

 
When using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word), hitting [Return] will make a line break, so that you can type on the next line. Such a command is available for HTML as well. The tag is <BR></BR>. <BR> stands for 'break'. Another tag that can be used is <P>. <P> stands for paragraph, and using such a command will create a new paragraph of text, hence 'leaving a line'.
This is line number 1.
<BR></BR>
This is line number 2.
<P>
This is paragraph number 3
</P>
These tags are very basic, and nothing has to be added on to them to enhance and or change them. <BR></BR> leaves a whole paragraph, while <BR> only creates a line break.
