Please stop using
<br />
for presentation spacing!
If you are a developer in the modern Web development and use <br />
to space out your display then it is time to reshape your HTML5 / CSS3 skills.
Let’s start by looking at the purpose of the <br />
defined by W3C Opens in a new window:
<br />
element represents a line break.<br />
elements must be used only for line breaks that are actually part of the content, as in poems or addresses.<br />
elements must not be used for separating thematic groups in a paragraph.
It is unbelievable how much abuse we still see on the Web. It’s a line break only part of a content paragraph. Remember this!
There are various alternatives such as using margins. If the semantic looks more like a definition or list order, please use accordingly
otherwise you are not writing HTML5 code.
