The
tag inserts a line break where the tag appears. This could be used to get line breaks for poetry, for example, since otherwise the browser would wrap the text into an ordinary paragraph form. For example, we might have:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
HTML has had
A colorful life, too.

The
tag is used to add a horizontal rule line. There is no closing tag for this one. The following example starts with a horizontal rule line and then has an address. Address stuff often appears in italics.

The following is one exception to the fact that browsers skip any extra white space in an HTML document. You can use the
 tag to indicate 
preformatted text. The white space will be left exactly 
as you entered it. In this way you can use the space 
bar to line up columns of information. For example, we 
could have:

      Fall      Spring

97    54.6       60.5
98   123.8      135.2
The tags
and
can be used around a long quotation. For a very short quotation, would probably be used. Remember to use
if you want to have line breaks in specific places within your quote. Special characters used in program code: " " " & & & < < < > > > One use of these is when you want to include a code segment in your HTML file. The problem is that using < or > might be confused with the angle brackets used to indicate tags. The & can also be confused and (rarely) the " as well. Thus the need for < and the like. You can also use the numeric form <. There are some characters that only have a numeric form; they have no mnemonic form. Consult a good HTML reference for a table of these characters. Other special characters: © © copyright symbol There are also special characters for letters with accents on them. There is a tag to format a section of code. Here is an example. Note the use of > for the greater than symbol and < for less than.
