Key Elements
| Tag | What it does |
|---|---|
<p> | Defines a paragraph (block-level, adds spacing) |
<br> | Line break — new line within the same paragraph |
<hr> | Horizontal rule — a thematic divider line |
Tip: Use
<br>only when line breaks are part of the content (e.g. addresses or poetry). For general spacing between blocks, use separate<p>elements or CSS margin.
