==============

This is a first line This is a second line This is the third line.

==============

These all appear on the same line eventhough I wrote them on separate lines

If I add a “enter” after each line, they’ll appear on separate lines, but have white spaces in between.

==============

This is the first line

This is the second line

This is the third line.

===============

Now I only add two spaces behind each line and they’ll appear just as I wrote them

================

This is the first line.
This is the second line.
This is the third line.

        implying this post isn’t

        Nope: not reading documentation is also free. Only costs more time.

        So how would you like to pay?

        Do you accept Rai stones? What’s the total? Payment plan available?

          Reading documentation is not for “the average person”, only professionals and enthusiasts. Now, I know Lemmy has plenty of both, but its certainly not a given that someone is one of those. For “the average person” a post like this is much more practical.

            Are you suggesting the documentation

            For a line break, add either a backslash \ or two blank spaces at the end of the line.

            with example

            This is a\
            line break.
            

            & interactive exercises is harder to understand than your post?

            Reading documentation is not for “the average person”

            Your post is basically longer, less clear documentation: wouldn’t that take more effort for “the average person”?
