If I use a SINGLE enter, it gets removed for some dumb reason (for “space efficiency”, my ass).
If I use TWO enters:
Like this, they stay.
What if I want to list things directly under each other? My only choice would be to use TWO enters and waste even more space.
Why not just respect the single and double use of enters? Unnecessary formatting!!!
It’s Markdown syntax. Single newlines are ignored so the text can be styled to be 80 characters wide for example but still have it rendered with another line length while two newlines result in a new paragraph. It’s not about “space efficiency”.
To get a visible linebreak without creating a paragraph, add two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.
hello↵ ↵ this is the first line␣␣↵ this is the second line↵ ↵ more text here
… results in this:
hello
this is the first line
this is the second linemore text here
(Actual rendering depends on your renderer.)
You can also use a backslash instead of two spaces. For example, if your phone keyboard converts double space-presses to a period and you are too impatient to do them more slowly (definitely not me).
Just add a backslash\ for a new line
results in:
