> How hard it's to understand? <br/> inserts a line break whereas <l></l> Unfortunately it doesn't on most GUI browsers. If it did only this, people would be less likely to use it (although they could still do what they do with it by forcing content on each empty line, with, for example ). In the real world, br is equivalent to a newline in a preformatted section; it always causes vertical indexing, not just when partial line needs to be completed. As I understand it, the typical rendering of <l> includes a leading true break effect, and a trailing GUI br effect, so, in many contexts will cause two vertical indexing operations.
