I think we'll start by learning something about the way a browser works.
First an example...

    <BODY>
    Something really cool
    like an icecube!
    </BODY>

Something really cool like an icecube!

    <BODY>
    Hey!
    What's
    going
    on
    here??
    </BODY>

Hey! What's going on here??

The browser doesn't recognize formatting. Unless you tell it otherwise, it just displays the characters in a steady stream. If you want to start a new line you have to use a line break.

    <BODY>
    Hey!
    <BR>What's
    <BR>going
    <BR>on
    <BR>here??
    </BODY>

Hey! What's going on here??

`<BR>` basically says - start a new line.

Can you use the <BR> tag to skip a line? Sure.

    <BODY>
    <BR>What's
    <BR>going
    <BR>
    <BR>on
    <BR>
    <BR>here??
    </BODY>

What's going on here??

Skip lots of lines? You betcha.

    <BODY>
    <BR>What's
    <BR>going
    <BR>
    <BR>on
    <BR>
    <BR>
    <BR>
    <BR>
    <BR>
    <BR>
    <BR>
    <BR>here??
    </BODY>
