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
| 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. |
Add a Line Break in HTML: Instructions

- Then
type the tag:

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
