How to insert a <br/> tag

My users want to be able to insert a carriage return in the wysiwyg editor (getting the effect as if a <BR/> was inserted.)  Right now, when return is pressed, a new paragraph is started.  I can go into textmode and tye in a <br/> and it renders correctly in wysisyg but my users are not ready to roll up their sleeves like that.  Is there currently a way to insert a <br/> tag?

The tried and try method in most applications, including Xinha, is a Shift-Enter.

See the long discussion on the topic at

You can turn on the "old" style <BR> support by setting

this.mozParaHandler = 'built-in'

in htmlarea.js.

There is however an exception bug right now that breaks it from time to time. (last I checked).

Once I have a chance I'm going to go through Enterparagraphs and add the design suggested by gogo on setting style sheets to <p> tags to produce the single Enter produces newline effect. (Unless someone beats me to it.) That's really the most correct way of doing it.

It'll most likely be a couple of weeks before I have a chance to get to it.
