Line Breaking in XHTML MP


<br/> is the line breaking tag in XHTML MP, which is the same as that in HTML and WML 1.x. The following example demonstrates the usage of line breaks:



<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN” “http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd”>

<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
  <head>
    <title>Line Break</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <p>
      Line 1<br/>
      Line 2<br/><br/>
      Line 3
    </p>
  </body>
</html>




The result should look like this in WAP browsers:
