- Save your document and view it in your browser. What do you notice?
EXPLANATION: Your browser ignores most whitespace (spaces &
enters). Any series of spaces are
reduced to one space. All enters
are completely ignored.
- If we want to force an enter, also known as a line
break, we can use the <br> tag. Try it and open your saved document in
your browser!
