I think we'll start by learning something about the way a browser works.
First an example...
<BODY> Something really cool like an icecube! </BODY>

<BODY> Hey! What's going on here?? </BODY>
Hey! What's going on here?? |
The browser doesn't recognize formatting. Unless you tell it otherwise, it just displays the characters in a steady stream. If you want to start a new line you have to use a line break.
<BODY> Hey! <BR>What's <BR>going <BR>on <BR>here?? </BODY>
Hey! What's going on here?? |
<BR> basically says - start a new line.
Can you use the <BR> tag to skip a line? Sure.
<BODY> <BR>What's <BR>going <BR> <BR>on <BR> <BR>here?? </BODY>
What's going on here?? |
Skip lots of lines? You betcha.
<BODY> <BR>What's <BR>going <BR> <BR>on <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>here?? </BODY>
