Line Breaks

Basic Rules

Line breaks in Markdown require special attention:

• Add two spaces at the end of a line, then press Enter to create a line break
• Use the <br> HTML tag to create a line break
• Pressing Enter directly won't create a line break in most Markdown processors

Examples

Using two spaces for line break:

First line of text[space][space]
Second line of text

Using HTML tag:

First line of text<br>
Second line of text

Best Practices

• Two spaces + Enter is the most common way
• Use <br> when you need explicit line breaks
• Leave blank lines between paragraphs for clearer structure
