I'm trying to create a markdown file with some paragraphs containing both a link and a line of text on the next line. The problem I've encountered is that when I make a new line after the link, it is rendered with a separate <p>
tag.
My markdown is the following:
[Name of link](url)
My line of text
Which is rendered to the following html:
<p>
<a href="url">Name of link</a>
</p>
<p>My line of text</p>
Instead I want it to render like so:
<p>
<a href="url">Name of link</a><br> // not necessarily with a <br> tag but on a separate line
My line of text
</p>
I've also tried using a single line break in the markdown:
[Name of link](url)
My line of text
But then both the link and the text is rendered on the same line, but without a line break.
Any suggestions on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!
This question is related to
markdown
Try adding 2 spaces (or a backslash \
) after the first line:
[Name of link](url)
My line of text\
Visually:
[Name of link](url)<space><space>
My line of text\
Output:
<p><a href="url">Name of link</a><br>
My line of text<br></p>
Just adding a new line worked for me if you're to store the markdown in a JavaScript variable. like so
let markdown = `
1. Apple
2. Mango
this is juicy
3. Orange
`
I know this post is about adding a single line break but I thought I would mention that you can create multiple line breaks with the backslash (\
) character:
Hello
\
\
\
World!
This would result in 3 new lines after "Hello". To clarify, that would mean 2 empty lines between "Hello" and "World!". It would display like this:
World!
Personally I find this cleaner for a large number of line breaks compared to using <br>
.
Note that backslashes are not recommended for compatibility reasons. So this may not be supported by your Markdown parser but it's handy when it is.
