& 是一个字符; & amp; 是该字符的HTML字符实体。 $ b

< br> ; 是一个元素。元素不会获得字符实体。

与此处的许多答案相反， \\\
或&＃13; 不等于< br> 。前者表示文本文档中的换行符。后者旨在表示HTML文档中的换行符，并且通过其默认CSS来执行此操作：

  br：之前{content：\A;空行：pre-line} 
 

文本换行符可以呈现为HTML换行符，或者可以视为空白，具体取决于CSS white-space 属性。

Typically we all using HTML numbers or names in web pages. ex. & is & or & and $, @, ©, ®, ... etc. Like the way I want to know is there any HTML number or name for <br>?.

Any answer would be helpful?

Cheers!

& is a character; & is a HTML character entity for that character.

<br> is an element. Elements don't get character entities.

In contrast to many answers here, \n or 
 are not equivalent to <br>. The former denotes a line break in text documents. The latter is intended to denote a line break in HTML documents, and is doing that by virtue of its default CSS:

br:before { content: "\A"; white-space: pre-line }

A textual line break can be rendered as a HTML line break, or can be treated as whitespace, depending on the CSS white-space property.
