Comment on Why does not a CR (Carriage Return) automatically start a new line on some online text editors?
TootSweet@lemmy.world 3 hours agoI think they’re talking largely (mostly?) about Markdown. (For instance, in Lemmy, when you stick a newline there, it doesn’t give you a line break in the flow of the text.) And when they say “Carriage Return”, they don’t know what they’re talking about. If I’m interpreting them correctly, I think they just mean “newline”. And when they say “two spaces”, I think they mean two newlines.

Yes, I may not be using the right terminology. The “return” button on the keyboard.
I also gave an example, so I’m not sure why there’s so much confusion.

Because you’re not using the right terminology. ;)

Yeah, but if someone said, “I sharpened a steel bowl and used it to cut my steak, and here’s a picture of my bowl” and you see a knife, wouldn’t you know what they mean?
Maybe it is I that lacks theory of mind.

Because it's Markdown it gets confusing. Here is some help. Line Breaks
