how to make a new line in a jupyter markdown cell

Question

md $S$: a set of shops $I$: a set of items M wants to get

I'd like to make a new line between this two sentences. We usually put " (space)" after the first sentence before a new line, but it doesn't work in Jupyter.

How can I do this? Should I put "enter" twice after the first sentence?

Answer 1

Just add <br> where you would like to make the new line.

$S$: a set of shops <br> $I$: a set of items M wants to get 

Because jupyter notebook markdown cell is a superset of HTML.

Note that newlines using <br> does not persist when exporting or saving the notebook to a pdf (using "Download as > PDF via LaTeX"). It is probably treating each <br> as a space.

Answer 2

"We usually put ' (space)' after the first sentence before a new line, but it doesn't work in Jupyter."

That inspired me to try using two spaces instead of just one - and it worked!!

(Of course, that functionality could possibly have been introduced between when the question was asked in January 2017, and when my answer was posted in March 2018.)
