Line Breaks

They look like this:

<br>

In plain english,

  1. Go to the end of the line.
  2. Hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Press the COMMA (,) key. This will type the < ("Less Than") character.
  4. Type the letters BR.
  5. Hold down the SHIFT key again.
  6. Type the PERIOD (.) key. This will type the > ("Greater Than") character.
  7. You have now typed ... <br> !
  8. Repeat the process at the end of every line.

For the advanced course, you can "CUT AND PASTE" the <br>, thereby saving yourself

all that typing. To do that:

  1. Move your mouse so that the cursor is RIGHT BEFORE the < character.
  2. Press and hold down the LEFT mouse button.
  3. Drag the mouse to the right until you pass the > character, and the whole

    <br> phrase is highlighted.

  4. On the menu bar, click on EDIT, then on COPY. You have now "copied" the <br>

    phrase to your computer's "clipboard".

  5. Position your mouse at the end of a line.
  6. Click there with your LEFT mouse button.
  7. Click EDIT on the menu bar, then PASTE. VOILA!
  8. Repeat the process wherever you want a line break.

TRY IT! It's WAY easier than it sounds!
