A bug? I ran your code. Towards the end of the paragraph, the breakline gave wrong results (the words was and served were broken up when they shouldn't have been):

Suppose you run a Web site that includes a banner<br /><br />advertise +ment service. You contract with companies<br /><br />that want their +ads displayed when poeple visit<br /><br />the pages on your site. Ea +ch time a visitor hits<br /><br />one of your pages, you serve an ad +embedded in the<br /><br />page that is sent to the visitor's browser + and<br /><br />assess the company a small fee. To represent this<br +/><br />information, you maintain three tables. One table,<br /><br / +>company, has columns for company name, number,<br /><br />address, a +nd telephone number. Another table, ad<br /><br />lists ad numbers, t +he number for the company that<br /><br />owns the ad, and the amount + you charge per hit.<br /><br />The third table, hit, logs each ad hi +t by number<br /><br />and the date on which the ad was<br /><br />se +rved.
