I don't understand the function of "br" tag here. (Table lesson no-2)

Question

<table border="2">
<tr>
<td>Red</td>
<td>Blue</td>
<td>Green</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br /></td>
<--! this line -->
<td colspan="2"><br /></td>
</tr>
</table>

there is a br tag in the 8th line (<td><br /></td>) ,

and if I remove that <br /> between <td> </td>
, I get the same output.

What is the point of that <br /> ?

Answer 1

remember that they are tag, no functions.

br stands for break line.

you will notice it if you use after an inline object

Answer 2

It mean break it's used to start another line

<p>you: hello how are you?<br>friend: great how are you?<p>

the output look like this

you: hello how are you?
friend: great how are you?

Answer 3

it creates a break and let the remaining content in new line

Answer 4

nice answers
