Paragraphs
To create a paragraph, simply write text. Separate paragraphs with a blank line.
This is the first paragraph.
This is the second paragraph.
Line Breaks
To create a line break within a paragraph (without starting a new paragraph), end a line with two or more spaces or use a <br> tag.
This is line one.
This is line two (same paragraph).
Common Mistake
Just pressing Enter once does NOT create a new line in most Markdown renderers:
This is line one.
This will appear on the SAME line.
These two lines will be rendered as a single paragraph.
The Fix
Either add a blank line between them (new paragraph) or add two spaces at the end of the first line (line break).
💡 The two-space line break is often invisible, so many people prefer using
<br>for clarity.
