I can’t get a line to break in a table

I've been trying to get a line break in this HTML code, but no matter what I do it will not break.

<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <th>Accusative</th>
            <td>
                <p>
                    do nothing for inanimate, genitive rule for animate 
                </p>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Column 1	Column 2
Accusative	do nothing for inanimate, genitive rule for animate

This is what I get when I run the code above. But this looks ugly in context, so I want it to have brakes in it.

This is what I mean when I say brakes.

do nothing for inanimate,
genitive rule
for animate

I've tried putting
where I want the lines to brake, but nothing changes. I've also tried putting each into different paragraph tags. But the padding makes it too spaced out.

Solution

Use HTML   element(s) on the place(s) where you want line breaks.

for example:

Textte xttext
will result in:

Textte
xttext

Note: you may also use   instead of  .

Applied to your code:

<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <th>Accusative</th>
            <td>
                <p>
                    do nothing for inanimate,<br />
                    genitive rule for animate 
                </p>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

It doesn't matter if you put a new-line after   or not.
