Line breaks in markdown

linebreak.md

Hello  (<-- two spaces)
World

Hello

Hello

Hello World

Hello<br/>
World

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

Hello

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 !

Hello world

Testing
npm install #may you need sudo
npm start
navigate to http://localhost:3000\

This project is built on symfony 4 and php 7.2.
To get development environment working -
composer install
brew install yarn
yarn install
yarn encore dev
php bin/console server:run
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

"```" works.

hello

hello\ world

You are right for issue comments, but don't work for README.md in the github, and needed <br>.

you

How to break a long line without space? Something like:

但是可以运行慢得要死的Java虚拟机的现代手机等硬件来说（Java爱好者肯定能拿出一百个例子来说明Java并不慢，我一直不明白，byte code和垃圾回收这种机制不可能在所有场合下都能取得比机器代码加引用计数同样的效率这点，怎么会有人不明白，而且下文会说，并不是机器效率越高，一个语言就越成功），值类型在大多数应用场景不再是一个问题。对大型工程来说，人们更看重的是架构层面的问题。把同一段内存，也就是一个object，用不同的reference来表达，这种方式本质上是会造成架构问题的。要求一个程序员在修改一个内存变量的时候，心中时刻记得所有指向同一内存地址的变量，需要时刻记得相关的所有变量，这样的要求会引发更多犯错误的可能。Swift之所以把可变性作为一个重点问题来抓，原因就是在现实中，可变性引发的bug实在太多太多了。因此Swift会强制你在传递或者复制一个对象的时候，除非特别制定，否则默认会真的复制一段内存内容出来，这样可以保证不变的对象是真的不变。

The double space is part of Markdown spec

@cweijan Well, it certainly won't do anything in preformatted (code) text.

Cool thanks, exactly what i was looking for

Thanks this helped

Working

nice gist, this helped!

Double space seems like a better solution to keep the source code more readable, but having so many plugins and IDE remove trailing spaces, I'll go with backslash 🙄

Thank you

How do I add a line space between a bullet of text and a line break?

Currently if I use this:

- The property is down a shared driveway and a 20 min drive from the city

****

It comes out like this:

I have tried using these already and they don't work:

<br />
2 spaces at the end
/
/s

is the most consistent on github.md

Thank you so much.

Double space seems like a better solution to keep the source code more readable, but having so many plugins and IDE remove trailing spaces, I'll go with backslash.

Every editor or IDE I've had to use that strips whitespace when saving the file, there has always been a check box in settings or preferences to disable it which allows for the spaces to remain when saved. As another option, you can choose to use a text editor that doesn't and just use it for that purpose. Or you can create another editor profile you can launch to do the same. That is what I do with Kate, select to open another profile in another window.

Personally I'll stick to the HTML break. I written so much HTML it's automatic reflex.

Hello. World

Hi what if it's inside multiline code block? How to wrap lines in multi line code block?

Nice, thank you all

Thanks!

<br> worked fine for me (macbook). Thx!

This should be in https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax

Thanks

We need a line-continuation, like \<cr> in C programming language. Sadly, this symbol represents line breaks in markdown. Without this feature, compact text like Chinese can only be written one line at a time, otherwise, inappropriate Spaces will appear. I want to be able to use /<cr> or \\<cr> as a continuation, expected results the following:

markdown:

a/
b

or

a\\
b

expected:

ab

In <pre><code> works <br>

import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native'; import App from './App'; import { name as appName } from './app.json'; import { gestureHandlerRootHOC } from 'react-native-gesture-handler' import notifee, { EventType, AndroidImportance } from '@notifee/react-native' import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging' //background & quit state: messages listener async function onBackgroundMessageReceived(message) { const channelId = await notifee.createChannel({ id: 'projects', name: 'projects', lights: false, vibration: true, importance: AndroidImportance.DEFAULT, }) await notifee.displayNotification(JSON.parse(message.data.notifee)) } messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(onBackgroundMessageReceived) notifee.onBackgroundEvent(async ({ type, detail }) => { const { notification } = detail //const { pressAction } = notification.android switch (type) { case EventType.PRESS: console.log('NOTIFICATION PRESSED !') // I want to navigate to a sepcified screen await notifee.cancelNotification(notification.id) break } }) AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => gestureHandlerRootHOC(App));

Thanks!

I noticed that the

hello\

also causes line break.

Nice, but it doesn't work for me (tested in brackets app - macos)

Strange... I swear that it used to be, if you write two lines next to each other like this:

This is first line.
This is second line.

They used to render like this:

This is first line. This is second line.

Since when GitHub introduced this misguided change??

Many thanks!
You saved my day.

There is a slight spacing difference if you use backslash. The vertical spacing is bigger than if you just use an empty line.
