Interpreting newlines as  lt br   gt  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  lt br   gt  tags   a  lt br   gt  b  lt br   gt  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    lt ul gt   lt li gt Line 1 lt  li gt   lt li gt Line 2 lt  li gt   lt  ul gt
