Purpose
In some instances, it is not possible to introduce paragraph breaks using newlines alone. For example, within a list item and within references. However, using <p> tags can cause problems for navigation with screen readers, which expect these tags to delimit paragraphs of prose (see e.g. MOS:INDENTGAP). This template is used mostly in footnotes, where a visual break is desired, without adding an additional paragraph navigation point.
Example 1
The following reference uses line breaks for multiple lines.[1]The following reference uses the paragraph break template for paragraph breaks.[2]The following reference uses <br /> tags for paragraph breaks.[3]
