<BR> - the break tag is one of the few tags which does not have to have a closing tag. It forces text to start on a new line. Two BR tags will give the same effect as a new paragraph - example.
<HR> - this tag inserts a divider line (horizontal rule) where used - example.
- is used to add a single character space in the text - example.
Transparent gifs - Another way of using white space is to use transparent .gif images. You would create an image with the same dimensions as the white space you require and save it as a transparent gif image. You will need to use image creation software to create your gif. Alternatively you can download the image in our example and set the image size in your HTML to the dimensions of the space required - example.
