Paragraphs and line breaks

Result:This is line 1.
Now text will appear on the next line.
Example 2
Result:
This is line 1.
Line 2 has extra space before it.
Lists
Organize related items with lists. You can add ordered lists with numbers, or unordered lists with just bullets.
Ordered lists start with a number followed by a period for each list item. Unordered lists start with a *
. Begin each list item on a new line. In a Markdown file or widget, enter two spaces prior to the line break to begin a new paragraph, or enter two line breaks consecutively to begin a new paragraph.

Tables
Organize structured data with tables.
- Place each table row on its own line
- Separate table cells using the pipe character
|
- The first two lines of a table set the column headers and the alignment of elements in the table
- Use colons (
:
) when dividing the header and body of tables to specify column alignment (left, center, right) - To start a new line, use the HTML break tag (
<br/>
) - Make sure to end each row with a CR or LF.
Example:
Result:
Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
---|---|---|
Cell A1 | Cell A2 | Cell A3 |
Cell B1 | Cell B2 | Cell B3 second line of text |
