Try adding 2 spaces (or a backslash ) after the first line:
[Name of link](url)
My line of text
Visually:
[Name of link](url)
My line of text
Output:
Name of link
My line of text
I know this post is about adding a single line break but I thought I would mention that you can create multiple line breaks with the backslash () character:
Hello
World!
This would result in 3 new lines after “Hello”. To clarify, that would mean 2 empty lines between “Hello” and “World!”. It would display like this:
Hello
World!
Personally I find this cleaner for a large number of line breaks compared to using
.
Note that backslashes are not recommended for compatibility reasons. So this may not be supported by your Markdown parser but it’s handy when it is.
