Woah, this has a “half-linebreak” key! I wonder if this is sort of like the html tag </br>, as opposed to a new paragraph <p>. Or it could be the difference between Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) or both (CRLF).

Close up of the two enter keys of the keyboard in the original post. One is a normal large ISO-style enter key with the text "⏎ 改行/確定" ("Line Break/Confirm"). The other is a small grey square key with the text "½⏎" ("half-linebreak").

This is pre alpha / experimental and just for me....

I'd like to have a visual test for the line breaking algorithm of boxes and glue, so I created a little HTML / canvas fronted with Go / Web Assembly (wasm)

linebreak.boxesandglue.dev

and

github.com/speedata/linebreak-

More bells and whistles will follow.

Two ways to get a hard #linebreak within a paragraph with #Markdown:

1. End the line with two spaces (most portable).

This is a new line.

2. “Backslash escape” the linebreak (more readable).

I want a linebreak after this.\
This is a new line.

Both methods work with #pandoc and any #CommonMark processor.
