line-break

Poetry's white space

A line-break is the point where text wraps to a new line, whether determined automatically by margins or inserted deliberately.

In word processing and coding, a line-break is a specific character that forces text to the next line: Insert a line-break after each item.

In poetry, line-breaks shape rhythm and meaning, controlling where the reader pauses.
