How to insert a line break
in markdown

Question

I'm trying to create a Markdown file with some paragraphs containing both a link and a line of text on the next line. The problem I've encountered is that when I make a new line after the link, it is rendered with a separate `

` tag. My Markdown is the following: ``` [Name of link](url) My line of text ``` Which is rendered to the following HTML: ```

Name of link

My line of text

``` Instead I want it to render like so: ```

Name of link
// not necessarily with a
tag but on a separate line My line of text

``` I've also tried using a single line break in the Markdown: ``` [Name of link](url) My line of text ``` But then both the link and the text is rendered on the same line, but without a line break. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Accepted Answer

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

``` Alternatively you can place a `
` directly into the text. It is valid in Markdown.
