<p>This is a paragraph with a <br> line break.</p>

Example with Multiple Line Breaks

HTML

<p>This is a poem:<br>
  Line 1<br>
  Line 2<br>
  Line 3</p>

Important Points

Inline element: Unlike paragraphs,   is an inline element, meaning it doesn't start on a new line and doesn't take up the full width available.
Limited use: While   can be useful in specific cases, it's generally recommended to use paragraphs for better structure and readability.
Accessibility: Excessive use of   can make content difficult to read for users with visual impairments.

When to Use ` `

Poetry or addresses: Where preserving specific line breaks is important.
Short, non-paragraph content: For very short lines of text that don't warrant a full paragraph.
