Breaking lines in HTML without <br> tags can be achieved using block-level elements such as <div> or <p> combined with CSS properties like display: block; or display: inline-block; and others. These elements naturally wrap text or content, facilitating clean and structured layout design without manual line breaks.

Below are the approaches to break lines without using <be> tag in HTML/CSS:

Table of Content

  • Using white-space property in CSS
  • Using display property

Using white-space property in CSS

In this approach, we are using the white-space property by assigning it to “pre”. That will align the content of any div into a separate line means it will successfully add the line breaks.

Example: This example uses white-space to pre to break the line.

html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>  <head>     <title>         Line break without using br tag     </title> </head>  <body style="text-align:center;">      <h1 style="color:green;">         GeeksForGeeks     </h1>      <div style="white-space: pre">         GeeksforGeeks         GeeksforGeeks     </div> </body>  </html>

Output:

Using display property

This approach uses display property of CSS. we are assigning block as a value to the targeted div or element so that it can add a line break.

Example: This example uses display property to break the line.

html 
<!DOCTYPE html>  <html>   <head>      <title>          Line break using display property      </title>       <style>          p span {              display: block;          }      </style>  </head>   <body style = "text-align:center;">       <h1 style = "color:green;" >          GeeksForGeeks      </h1>               <p>          <span>GeeksforGeeks_1</span>          <span>GeeksforGeeks_2</span>      </p>  </body>   </html>
