Line Breaks in Worpress Editor

I struggled with entering line breaks in the Worpress Editor (currently I’m using WordPress 2.5). There seems to be tons of questions with many involved solutions regarding line breaks on the WordPress Support Forums, almost too many to find a good, up-to-date answer.

I’ve found that the tags <br> and <br /> will be stripped out while the tag <br/> (notice there is no space in the tag) will cause WordPress to happily keep line breaks.
