When editing an issue and clicking Preview the following markdown source:
a
b
c
shows every letter on a new line.
However, it seems to me that pushing similar markdown source structure in README.md joins all the letters on one line.
I'd like the new lines preserved in the README.md in this project: https://github.com/zoran119/simple-read-only-test
Any idea how?
To create a line break or new line ( <br> ), end a line with two or more spaces, and then type return. This is the first line.
If you want a blank line, you insert one blank line — or more, if you want bigger blank space — in between two lines of text. ###### This is as small as it gets before regular text.
A paragraph is consecutive lines of text with one or more blank lines between them. For a line break, add either a backslash \ or two blank spaces at the end of the line. paragraph.
Interpreting newlines as <br />
used to be a feature of Github-flavored markdown, but the most recent help document no longer lists this feature.
Fortunately, you can do it manually. The easiest way is to ensure that each line ends with two spaces. So, change
a
b
c
into
a__
b__
c
(where _
is a blank space).
Or, you can add explicit <br />
tags.
a <br />
b <br />
c
You can use a backslash at the end of a line.
So this:
a\
b\
c
will then look like:
a
b
c
Notice that there is no backslash at the end of the last line (after the 'c' character).
If you want to be a little bit fancier you can also create it as an html list to create something like bullets or numbers using ul or ol.
<ul>
<li>Line 1</li>
<li>Line 2</li>
</ul>
