Can it? Do they?

<br><br>, depending on where it is inserted in the line above, 
does this:

(1) It breaks the box that existed and creates another box on a 
new line either one with characters in it or one with no 
characters in it; the latter, a box that is brimming with mere 
potentiality.

(2) It then operates on this second box and breaks it.

In all of this is a breaking of one thing, followed by a breaking 
of another thing. There is no double breaking of one line and so 
the question of whether it is logical to break a line twice does 
not arise to be logical or not logical.

Browsers, unlike, earthlings, see into the virtual world more 
clearly. A box with nothing in it is still a box to them. They 
are happy with boxes that do not have positive dimensions. In 
fact, some browsers probably recognise boxes that have negative 
dimensions, but let us not go into that murky world.

Browsers also like it when earthlings think like they do and they 
like it when they are given shorthand instructions in advance. I 
have heard browsers purring contentedly on being double breaked.
