Line breaks

8TML > Reference > Blocks

Inside a paragraph, quote or list item, two things start a new line without starting a new block:

  • <br> anywhere in the text,
  • a \ as the very last character of a source line.
Roses are red,\
violets are blue,<br>
this line comes next.

  Roses are red,                            
  violets are blue,                         
  this line comes next.

Rules

  • After a line break at the end of a source line, the next source line joins without the usual space, so it starts at the left edge.
  • <br> on an otherwise empty line inside a paragraph gives an empty line.
  • Two spaces at the end of a line are not a line break, unlike in Markdown.
First line<br>
<br>
After an empty line.
