Use this to force line breaks into your posts and pages. It is simple. [br] will add a line break. It won’t be filtered out by TinyMCE.

There are no attributes. Not much else to see here. I couldn’t find a plugin that did this anywhere. Thought that was odd.

Example time!

If your text editor content looks like this:

Hello this is my 
[br]
example!

The HTML will end up:

<p>Hello this is my</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>example!</p>

Because the default styling of a paragraph tag adds an area of white space below it this may result in more of a break than you wanted. Solution:

Hello this is my [br] example!

Which results in the following HTML:

<p>Hello this is my <br /> example!</p>
