The discussion revolves around the difference in line break behavior when pressing enter in the Discourse composer. Brandon007 noticed that hitting enter once creates a double line break in one forum but only a single break in another. Moin and NateDhaliwal clarify that this behavior depends on the composer mode—rich-text (WYSIWYG) versus Markdown. Brandon007 realizes the issue was due to not noticing the M↓ or A icon, which switches between modes. Lilly provides a link to the announcement introducing the new composer, explaining the change.
When I type here in the composer, if I hit enter once, a new
tag in the html is created, and the user sees a double line break.

However, when I type in the composer on my forum, if I hit enter once, I get a single line break.

So a user has to hit enter twice to get that double line break.
Is there a feature I need to enable to get the same setup as here?
Do you use the same composer mode in both forums? I know the rich-text-editor adds a different line break (New composer inserts double line breaks when pressing return key) than the markdown editor.
Hmm… are you using the Markdown or the WYSIWYG rich text editor? IIRC the 1st behaviour is that of the WYSIWYG rich text editor, and the 2nd is the Markdown one.
Ahh, now I see!
I never paid attention to the M↓ or A icon in the composer, looked confusing. That was the issue though.
Boy, if the admin has a problem figuring that one out…
