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

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.

    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”?
