Hi...

On the webpage...

http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/linepar/_BR.html

...it explains the formatting of a limerick with <BR> carriage returns, with a plain example... and then states that <BR> does -not- affect paragraph formatting and provides a sample with paragraph center alignment... yet your example which should be center aligned is, instead, left aligned, just like the 'plain' example.

I did view the source for the page and copied the aligned example code to notepad, saved as HTML and opened in a browser where it was indeed center aligned, but your tutorial webpage does -not- center align the center-aligned example.

I'm not a coder (yet), just a tech that noticed the inconsistency... so I'll leave it to you all to figure out the display anomaly. ;)...

It's because the page links to a CSS stylesheet with a ruleset selecting all 'p' elements that sets their alignment to 'left'. Ignore the "align" HTML attribute as it's deprecated and has been replaced by the CSS "text-align" property. The tutorials need a major updating.
