Line breaks

Quarkdown follows the standard Markdown specification, so you can create soft line breaks by ending a line with two or more spaces:

In the following snippet, a whitespace character is represented by ␣ for clarity.

First line␣␣
Second line

This syntax, however, is not always ideal. It can be ambiguous and lead to confusion. Additionally, some text editors may unexpectedly trim trailing spaces, which removes the intended line breaks.

Some Markdown users suggest using explicit <br> HTML tags. Quarkdown, however, discourages direct HTML injection.

As an alternative, Quarkdown provides the .br function for explicit line breaks.

First line .br
Second line

First line .br Second line

There are no special conventions regarding the preferred approach for breaking lines. You can choose any of these methods based on your personal preference.
