Line breaks in markdown

linebreak.md

Hello  (<-- two spaces)
World

Hello

Hello

Hello World

Hello<br/>

Hello

Hello

I noticed that the

hello\
world

also causes line break.

@raytry That's even better, cause it is visible. Thank you.

Also:

Hello 
World

Hello 
World

Thanks a lot for the backslash tip. The double space never was a very good idea.

@Raytray: While hello\ works with a few Markdown parsers, it is not part of the specification and therefore some parsers ignore it. However, it sure looks elegant and i.m.o. it would be nice if it would be added to the Markdown specification.

For now the only solid solution seems to be the good old <br/> tag, which looks a bit clumsy for such a basic layout feature.

I've noticed that backslash is working as new line only if it is a last character. If it has trailing spaces(e.g. "hello\ "), backslash will be shown literally in the output

Thanks! :)

interestingly, if we put \ at the end of a line without test on the next line, it shows up in the text
Previous line has an invisible \, this line has it visible\

the last one is visible because an empty line follows it

Yeah, the double-space thing is a bad idea in general because many text editors automatically trim white-space at the end of each line upon saving. Its best to use a form that'll work for the most amount of people.

I am appalled how I would have to google for this, lol !!!

for me only Shift + Enter worked. No
and no </kbd>

The backslash is the only way it works within a block quote, as well. shift+enter doesn't.

A good explanation along with a github commit is posted at:

I think this will help the readers and people searching answer to fix this issue!

Thanks! :)

Thank you !

add this to ~/.gitignore_global
https://github.com/symfony/demo/blob/master/.gitignore

This




is just a test.

nice gist！

Thanks man

markdown transferred to html in browser so you can use html tags inside markdown file
so you can use all html tags for newline you can use <br>

this examples of using both html and markdown to get same results
bold from markdown

---

also bold from html

---

itaclic from markdown

---

also italic from html

---

so if you want to make newline in markdown you can use <br>

Why does markdown do this? If I want two lines to run consecutively I won’t introduce a newline.

Every editor can wrap text, I’m truly at a loss. Now we have to have <br> everywhere, or double spaced lines, or that silly two-spaces thing.

hello
world

"```" works.

hello
world

hello\ world
