This page explains methods to create, control and prevent line breaks and word wraps in Wikipedia articles and pages.


  • What line breaks and word wraps are. And perhaps when they occur, but that kind of belongs in the "Causing a line break" section.

Causing a line break

  • New line in the code.
  • Double new lines in the code.
  • Using the <br> tag. Not HTML nor XHTML, this is HTML wikimarkup. So avoid <br />.
