How to Use HTML Line
Break Tags to Streamline Your Web Copy
This simple web
design class is about
tweaking your pages by writing code.The HTML line
break makes it a little easier to include lines of
text within your web pages. It's a very short and
easy HTML element that goes a long way when writing
concise, professional Web copy. This quick lesson
will show you how easy it is to create.
Why is the Line Break
Needed?
Some web design programs will
automatically insert unwanted space between each
line of copy. This can be frustrating when you have
limited space for writing your text or if you want
the text to appear professionally written, just
like in a printed publication. If there's extra
space between the lines, the text may take up twice
the space on your web pages. Look at these
examples.....
Without HTML line break
element:
---------------------------------
Line number one.
Line number two.
---------------------------------
With HTML line break
element:
----------------------------------
Line number one.
Line number two.
----------------------------------
HTML Code
The line break tag is a
simple one with no ending or closing tag to worry
with: "<br>" (without quotes). This
needs to be placed at the end of each line to
prevent unwanted spacing. Then the lines will
appear close together, as seen in magazines,
newspapers, books, etc.
Benefits of Using the Line
Break
Being able to manage your
lines with the HTML line break tag serves two main
purposes. It gives you the capability to manage
your lines wherever you insert them.
If you need to create a text
link menu for your website, you can prevent
vertical spacing between each link. This will keep
your links bundled together neatly without having
to design a special navigation menu. With the line
break tag, you can make your menu appear short and
concise; it will be easier on the eye for your
users without being stretched downward due to extra
unwanted space.
Formatting Lines with HTML
Tags
Another benefit is you can
control the way text appears on your web pages.
Perhaps you want certain lines of text to have
extra space in between, and others to read
normally. This can be achieved by leaving off the
line break tag on certain lines and by including
the tag with others.
Keep your page design simple
and easy to read with this quick little element of
code. With HTML line break tags, you can get the
results you want for all your Web copy. Learn about
this code and more by taking a complete

You'll soon discover many neat tricks to get the
look and feel you want on your website!
