New line? (lemmy.world)

After almost one month of using Lemmy I finally realised the first way to make a new line.

So far I have been

writing some text

in this space-taking way.

Now I know that through
adding the symbol \
after text you wrote
you can make a new line.

Are there any easier ways though? Hitting Enter once doesn't work for some reason.

Try two spaces at the end of a line; that's how it works on many other things that use Markdown.

Oh cool, that works too. thanks!

Not "too". Your way doesn't work on Sync, at least. The double space thing is the official way.

I only know that I use Firefox on PC.
Thanks for the knowledge anyway!

Wait what? I've been here for 5 months and didn't knoe that. I always just did shift + enter.

I don't think I got anything to work.

I've always used a bunch of underscores to get those lines.

Just testing.
Testing again.
One more time.

how do you make the grey lines (at least on Boost, they're displayed in grey) separating different sections/paragraphs?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Three lines...

...will get that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

ohhh let me quickly try this...

and see how it looks.

Edit: nice, thanks a lot!

I've noticed that I generally like to use a dot more. It gives more space that I need.
