In HTML, the <br> tag is used for line break. It is an empty tag i.e. no need to add an end tag. Writing <br> tag is perfectly fine. Let’s see the usage of other br tags i.e. <br/> or <br />, In HTML, use <br> tag. In XHTML, the valid way is to use <br/> or <br></br> as mentioned in the XHTML guidelines.(https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.6) According to w3 guidelines,(https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines) a space should be included before the trailing / and > of empty elements, for example, <br />. These guidelines are for XHTML documents to render on existing HTML user agents.
