    It’s called Markdown. If you know how to use it, it’s very convenient, but if not, it can cause all kinds of unexpected effects. It’s also the reason that **test** is formatted as test. You can often force new lines by ending the line with two spaces or a backslash character. Let’s test:

    This is a line
    And this is another line

    In this case it was a backslash character. So what I typed is:

    This is a line\
    And this is another line

    With spaces:

    This is a line
    And this is another line

      Huh, didn’t know that part of markdown, cool! I knew Lemmy used it and a fair amount of other common things in it but not the new line stuff. Learn something new every day, thanks!
