I am using the wonderful Slickmap template to start creating a tree for a friend but cannot work out how to have multiple lines of text within the same <li> tag. Basically the first 5 items should be within the same box and then the last two in separate boxes. I've tried all variants of <br> I can think of including adding a &nbsp; after the <br> but nothing seems to work. Is it possible and if so how?

<ul>
    <li><a href="/acceptance">Acceptance</a></br>
    <a href="/IPC-DRM-PTH">IPC-DRM-PTH</a></br>
    <a href="/IPC-A-610">IPC-A-610</a></br>
    <a href="/IPC-9191">IPC-9191</a></br>
    <a href="/IPC-DRM-SMT">IPC-DRM-SMT</a></br>
    <a href="/Posters">Posters</a></br>
    </li>
    <li><a href="/mission">Mission Statement</a></li>
    <li><a href="/principals">Principals</a></li>
</ul>

    . Have you tried making the links block display in css?     – Phix Mar 30 '13 at 19:42
  • Hi Phix Just tried that but that doesn't seem to work either [link]http://fieldshypnotherapy.co.uk/SlickmapCSS/index.html[/link]. Sorry not all that experienced, how would I make them block display? think they are already? `code`#primaryNav { margin: 0; float: left; width: 100%; } #primaryNav #home { display: block; float: none; background: #ffffff url('images/L1-left.png') center bottom no-repeat; position: relative; z-index: 2; padding: 0 0 30px 0; } #primaryNav li { float: left; background: url('images/L1-center.png') center top no-repeat; padding: 30px 0; margin-top: -30px; } – jojo Mar 31 '13 at 07:25

The </br> should be <br>. Then you're fine.

The </li> means "close this li (list item) element". A br element does not need a closing tag. Since it cannot contain any content, it's closed implicitly. You may see <br/> sometimes though. This basically comes down to an br element that is immediately closed afterwards. Note the position of the forward slash.

See also HTML 5: Is it <br>, <br/>, or <br />?
