The BR tag puts a line break between two lines of text. The tag behaves the same as hitting your Enter key. BR won't put extra space between the lines, however, as with the paragraph tag. The BR tag does not need a closing tag. Simply use it as follows
This is line 1.<br>
This is line 2.<br>
Example
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
