I have tried to add multiple blank lines but the result seems the same as markdown — it still only produce 1 blank line, it is expected？ Or I have some config wrong？
AI-generated summary
In a support discussion titled How to add multiple blank lines in the new composer?, user th21 reports that adding blank lines behaves like standard Markdown, producing only one line break regardless of input. pfaffman confirms this is expected behavior and asks why blank space is needed, suggesting alternatives like horizontal rules (---) or HTML line breaks. th21 explains that users often need multiple line breaks for formatting in forum posts. pfaffman suggests using <br><br><br> as a workaround. Finally, tobiaseigen checks if th21 found a solution and confirms that inserting multiple <br> tags in HTML is a viable method to create multiple blank lines — a solution that works when editing posts. The topic remains open pending confirmation from the original poster.
Yes. It creates markdown. If you want to make a bunch of space for some reason, you’ll need to contrive it with none breaking spaces or something like that.
Why do you want blank space? What problem is it solving?
My users serialize novels on the forum, and multiple line breaks are often part of the formatting.
Can they not do something like
To make space?
You could also nerve contrive a replacement with watched words somehow
@th21 were you able to figure out a way to create multiple blank lines, so we can close this topic?
One way to do it is using HTML. Just add <br><br><br>, which looks like this:
See what I mean?
I do notice that when you edit a post you’ve done this with the multiple blank lines disappear. cc @renato
