How to add </br> between <p> in composer

limker

Hi,

I found kinda annoying that composer is not able to add more than one break line in composer. Sometimes it's needed!

a_5mith

Hmm. Isn't this an option in the markdown plugin?

limker

@a_5mith Yeah, but doesn't work for me.

@a_5mith You mean breaks? This allows you to
add
line break
like so.

Otherwise the newlines would be collapsed, like HTML

To be honest, I can't imagine many scenarios where you'd require multiple line breaks, but the best way to accomplish this is with code blocks, either four-space indented:

like so,



test

or with code fences (wrap the lines with ```)

You can add a line break by adding two spaces to the end of any line.

@pitaj but that doesn't allow you to add more than one clean line between two texts

@limker Markdown is designed to make non-standard layouts difficult to accomplish

I'd advise to use better categorization by titles of different depths or horizontal rows (if there's a huge context-difference and no titles are given).

Title of depth n=3: ### My title
Horizontal row: ---

@limker You can install nodebb-plugin-colors then add white colored points, as many as you want

markdown should allow use of HTML, that's why there's not a "markdown way".

You can't really add more than one newline... I'm sorry to tell you this!

Really, you can't.

@Fez-Vrasta Markdown does allow you to use HTML.

Except when you're talking about forums where users can post whatever they want, you must enable HTML sanitization or people will get up to all sorts of shenanigans

The option is there if you want to disable HTML sanitization, but then all bets are off.

@julian sorry I meant that Markdown does do support HTML, except here.

By the way just write   to add a blank new line.

one two three

Edit: Neat! A bit hard to teach people that, though

Time to replace \n with

Hello

I can do this by using a \ on a line.
