It's <br> & <br/> both. They both do the same work. The forward slash at the ending is only used to indicate that the tag does not require any ending tag.

All wrong, <br> is correct for break but it does not work in XHML. So I suggest use <br />

You can use both <br> and <br/>, since br is an empty tag (no end tag). But it's always better to add a slash at the end of empty tags, so go for <br/>
