<br> (Text Line Break)

This element specifies the existence of a vertical line break between two runs of text within a paragraph. In addition to specifying a vertical space between two runs of text, this element may also have run properties specified via the <rPr> child element. This sets the formatting of text for the line break so that if text is later inserted there that a new run can be generated with the correct formatting.

example: 
<p:txBody>
  …
  <a:p>
    <a:r>
      …
      <a:t>Text Run 1.</a:t>
      …
    </a:r>
    <a:br/>
    <a:r>
      …
      <a:t>Text Run 2.</a:t>
      …
    </a:r>
  </a:p>
</p:txBody>

This paragraph will have two runs of text laid out in a vertical fashion with a line break in between them. This line break acts much like a carriage return would within a normal run of text. ]
