Video demonstration br element
HTML5 br element: add a line break
| min | video details |
|---|---|
| 00:12 | br element allows you to add a line break element |
| 00:16 | for example: the format of the strophe is not maintained in browser window |
| 00:19 | instead of 4 rows, we have 1 |
| 00:25 | using the br element, we can make the browser to display the same format of the strophe as in our source code (as given by its author) |
| 00:29 | adding the <br> tag at the end of each row |
| 00:40 | the text that comes after the <br> tag is pushed on the next line ⁄row |
| 00:55 | the browser now displays the same format as in our source code |
| 01:00 | the same, when supplying printing information about a book, for example |
| 01:02 | adding the <br> tag to push the next text on the next line |
| 01:02 | the format is now the same |
| 01:14 | the br element is useful when providing an address too: e.g. Name <br> code Street <br> City |
