How to insert a line break br in markdown

Question

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  lt p gt  tag   My markdown is the following    Name of link  url   My line of text   Which is rendered to the following html    lt p gt      lt a href  url  gt Name of link lt  a gt   lt  p gt   lt p gt My line of text lt  p gt    Instead I want it to render like so    lt p gt       lt a href  url  gt Name of link lt  a gt  lt br gt      not necessarily with a  lt br gt  tag but on a separate line     My line of text  lt  p gt    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

Try adding 2 spaces  or a backslash    after the first line    Name of link  url  My line of text    Visually    Name of link  url  lt space gt  lt space gt  My line of text    Output    lt p gt  lt a href  url  gt Name of link lt  a gt  lt br gt  My line of text lt br gt  lt  p gt

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  quot Hello quot   To clarify  that would mean 2 empty lines between  quot Hello quot  and  quot World  quot   It would display like this   Hello   World    Personally I find this cleaner for a large number of line breaks compared to using  lt br gt   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

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
