Line breaks in Markdown
A single Enter doesn't break a line in Markdown. Here's why, and the two reliable ways to do it.

Why your line didn't break
Markdown joins adjacent lines into one paragraph. Pressing Enter once isn't enough; the two lines render as one.
Two ways that work
End the line with two spaces, then press Enter. This forces a hard line break.

Line one·· Line two
Leave a blank line between them. This starts a new paragraph, with more space.

For text you feed to AI, prefer blank lines (real paragraphs). Two trailing spaces are invisible and easy to lose.
