Question 238636 in Html Question posted in
Some basic documentation can be found here.

Html – <br> or </br> which one we should use for line break?

<br> or </br> Which one should we use for a line break? Furthermore, which is correct <hr /> or <hr>

I tried both tags, and it shows the same results. Nevertheless, I am perplexed as on an online platform they say using </br> will be best compared to <br>. Furthermore, it is necessary to use space in <hr /> or we can simply write <hr/>.

    <br> is fine; <br/> works but the / is pointless. </br> is nonsense.

    Similarly, <hr> works, <hr/> works but the / is pointless.

    Now, some contexts require XML-like tag closing, so sometimes <br/> is what you want, but HTML5 parsers do not care.

    Both
    and
    are used to create a line break in HTML, but their usage and compatibility can differ slightly.
    "
    " This is the original and traditional way of writing a line break in HTML. It is an empty tag that doesn’t require a closing tag. You can simply use
    to indicate a line break.
    example:

    This is the first line.
    This is the second line.

    : This is a self-closing version of the line break tag that is compatible with XHTML, a stricter version of HTML. It’s also valid in regular HTML, but it’s less common and not necessary.
    example:

    This is the first line.
    This is the second line.

    above summary : you can use
    for a line break in HTML. If you’re using XHTML or want to be consistent with XML-style self-closing tags, you can also use
    .
