Add a Line Break in HTML: Overview

            This tutorial shows you how to add a line break in HTML. By default, browsers ignore many formatting keystrokes that we take for granted. Examples include the “Enter” and “Tab” keys and multiple uses of the spacebar. To accomplish the same tasks in HTML, you use page formatting tags.

            Web browsers wrap text automatically to the next line when the current line reaches the right side of the browser. When you add a line break in HTML, you avoid this text wrapping and start new text the next line. To add a line break to your HTML code, you use the
tag.  The
tag does not have an end tag. You can also add additional lines between paragraphs by using the
tags.  Each
tag you enter creates another blank line.

Start Tag:
End Tag:	None
Attributes:	None
Example:	This is where your fist line of text goes Your second sentence would begin on the next line.	Each tag begins a new line.
Result:	This is where your first line of text goes. Your second sentence would begin on the next line.

This is to show new line and return carriage in HTML, then you don't need to do it explicitly. You can do it in CSS by setting the white-space attribute pre-line value.

You can use CSS white-space property for \n. You can also preserve the tabs as in \t.

For line break \n:

white-space: pre-line;

For line break \n and tabs \t:

white-space: pre-wrap;

As per your question, it can be done by various ways.

For example if you want to insert a new line in a text area, you can use these:

line feed and carriage return, used like this:

Hello 

Stackoverflow

You can also use

---

preformatted text like this:

  This is line 1
  This is line 2
  This is line 3

Or you can use a

----

paragraph tag like this:

  
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3

Using white-space: pre-line allows you to input the text directly in the HTML with line breaks without having to use \n
If you use the innerText property of the element via JavaScript on a non-pre element e.g. a 
, the \n values will be replaced with 
 in the DOM by default
innerText: replaces \n with 
innerHTML, textContent: require the use of styling white-space
It depends on how your applying the text,
but there are a number of options
const node = document.createElement('div');
node.innerText = '\n Test \n One '

A
simple and more natural solution that doesn't involve CSS styles or numeric character references like 
 would be to use the 
 character entity reference:
The primary colors are:
- Red
- Green
- Blue
Note: Since this is defined simply as the LF (line feed, or the U+000A Unicode code point) character, it can be debatable whether it suits scenarios where the entire CR + LF (carriage return + line feed) sequence is required. But then, it worked in my Chrome, Edge and WebView2 tests done in
Windows 10, so it should be safe to use.

What does \n do in HTML?
The \n character matches newline characters.
How do you add a line break in HTML?
The 
 tag inserts a single line break. The 
 tag is useful for writing addresses or poems. The 
 tag is an empty tag which means that it has no end tag.
How do you put something on the next line?
Thankfully, there is a keyboard shortcut that moves to the next line. Move the text cursor to where you want the new line to begin, press the Enter key, hold down the Shift key, and then press Enter again.
