Observation Details
The line break element <br> is used to create new lines. Line break elements do get announced by assistive technology as "empty group", making it less pleasant to navigate a page that uses them for layout purposes. Also, design-wise, a manual line break will inevitably create text content reflow issues.
Remediation Notes
Ensure, creating paragraphs only by using real new lines / paragraphs (HTML element <p>) instead of manually creating them with line breaks. In Rich-text editors within content management systems, you create proper paragraphs by pressing ENTER. Avoid pressing SHIFT + ENTER, as this creates <br> line break elements instead.
