How to add a line break into a h1 element? (correctly)

Hello everybody

Could anyone tell me how I add a line break inside an h1 element? I guess I could use a br but I I've read somewhere that this is not css validated?

Thanks!

I'm assuming there is something missing from your question. To show tags, use the '& lt;' and '& gt;' without the spaces.

A 'h1' element is a 'block level' element, similar to a 'p' or 'div'. As it is ok to use a <br> in a 'p' or 'div' I don't see why you can't use one in a 'h1'. This is the way we have always done it.

Hi Damien, This was a question without any code written. I just wondered..

Thanks for the answer, I'll use a br in the future then ;).

Thanks!

Ah cool, I didn't see the 'br'.
