It didn't appear that way in this case, but maybe that was the result of
something else I set.

><br /> is more for creating a new line within a block (like say, poetry).

No, I want to do it the "right" way, and I hadn't thought about the margins. 
That works perfectly.

Thanks to Chris Gray and everyone else who responded!
