the clear="all" attribute means that the next element should appear below
all other elements, regardless of alignment.  Basically, if you have a left
or right aligned image or table (align="left/right"), you can use <br
clear="all" /> to force the next text to appear below the aligned
image/table, no matter how tall it is.  If you omit the clear="all", the
next text will still be to the side of the image/table.

e.g.

<img src="foo.jpg" width="100" height="200" alt="" border="1" align="left"
/>
<p>This text is to the right of the image</p>
<br clear="all" />
<p>This text is below the image</p>
