create line break

Hello

I want to do :%s@\(<br />\)\(1\)@\1<linebreak>\2@

and have it find <br />1 and return:

<br />
1

when I am finished running search and replace.

<linebreak> = whatever is correct

I know <CR> doesn't work because I tried it. It does this <br /> 1
I know {ctrl-v}{CR} doesn't work either but that seemed to be what a
site I found was saying to use. It does this <br />{ctrl}{CR}1
I know {ctrl-v}<CR> doesn't work. It does this <br /><ctrl-v> 1

I haven't been able to find the answer. I know this has to be possible.

Will someone point me to the documentation that will tell me how to do
what I want to do?

Thanks
