BR

paragraph element and should not be used in it place. An example (and its rendering) is:

<address>Prof. Gumby<br>
My Brain Hurts Inc.<br>
Toronto <br>CANADA
</address>
<p>I think my brain hurts.<br>
I'm ready to Operate!</p>

Which is rendered as:

I think my brain hurts.
I'm ready to Operate!

The essence of this tag is that it allows you to force a linebreak in a context where one would not ordinarily occur. Note that <br> causes a jump to the next line; it does not cause an empty line to be inserted.
