Dos the <br /> ag create a child?
eg:
<p>
<br />first line
<br />second line
</p>

don't really understand your question, but if you test, the br tag will break the line and put the text after it in a new line.

<br /> is a shorthand notation for <br></br> .
SO the <br /> itself is a child of the surrounding parent.
