BR - Forced line break

Appearance:	<BR>
Attributes:	CLEAR=left\|all\|right\|none
Contents:	None (Empty).
May occur in:	BODY, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, P, LI, DT, DD, DIV, CENTER, BLOCKQUOTE, FORM, TD, TH, PRE, ADDRESS as well as TT, I, B, U, STRIKE, BIG, SMALL, SUP, SUB, EM, STRONG, DFN, CODE, SAMP, KBD, VAR, CITE, A, IMG, FONT, APPLET, BR, SCRIPT, MAP, INPUT, SELECT, TEXTAREA and plain text.

The BR tag is used to force line breaks within text. Normally, linebreaks are treated as a space by browsers (except inside the PRE tag). The optional CLEAR attribute is used when you have an IMG image in your text. If that image uses ALIGN=LEFT or ALIGN=RIGHT, the text will flow around it. If you have text you want below the image, you can do this with <BR CLEAR=LEFT> or CLEAR=RIGHT to force scrolling down to a clear left or right margin, respectively. Using CLEAR=ALL will scroll down until both marings are clear. CLEAR=NONE is the default, and does nothing.

Notes:

Some people use multiple BR tags to force whitespace. This is not required by the specs, so it may not work in all browsers.
