Paragraph (=a Blank line)
<P>...</P>
  <P> tag represents a paragraph. A portion of text enclosed by <P> and </P> container is defined as a paragraph. (which seldom defined for somehow)

This tag is primarily used for inserting a blank line as a separator between paragraphs. In such case, do not use a <P></P> combination. Instead, use </P> only.
 
How are you?

I'm fine.
How are you?</P>I'm fine.
Line Break
</BR>
  A line break is defined to be a carriage return, a line feed, or a carriage return/line feed pair.

</BR> tag forcibly breaks (ends) the current line of text.

Sometimes you may want to prevent a line break from occurring between two words. In such case, use &nbsp;. It acts as a space where browser will bot cause a line break.
 
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?</BR>I'm fine.
No (Line) Break
<NOBR>...</NOBR>
  A portion of continuous text enclosed by <NOBR> and </NOBR> container will not break and remain in the same line even when the browser window is resized (either narrowed or widen)

</NOBR>
Word Break
<WBR>
  The opposite to <NOBR> and </NOBR> container. The location within a portion of continuous text where <WBR> tag is inserted will break and wrap when the browser window is narrowed.

<WBR> tag is useful to define line wrap control points.

I've inserted a WBR tag here->*<- to demonstrate.
<NOBR>
Adjust your browser window width,
I've inserted a WBR tag here ->*<- to demonstrate. </NOBR>
