I haven’t found any help for our problem so far.  
In discourse (v2.9.0.beta9) our members cant use blank lines in posts.

text (enter)  
empty (enter)  
empty(enter)  
empty (enter)  
text (enter)

Only 1 empty line is displayed.

Our members don’t want to use markdown \< br \>.

Is there an easy solution?

Hello 🙂  
They can use `\` like this:

```plaintext
test
\
\
\
test

```

Result:

I don’t think there’s a more straightforward, fast-to-type way to do this.
