Sometimes I am typing some Ideas. Its nice and all, but I need to make a break for the long post.
But this new paragraph does not have a line break from the one above. I am using old.lemmy.world if it matters.
Guide: Write cool posts and comments with Markdown for newbies
Saving that!
Your post text is rendering as two paragraphs for me in both old.lemmy and alexandria. Are you seeing something else?
For standard markdown, a paragraph is indicated by two successive returns in your source text (and a line break within a paragraph is indicated by a line ending in two spaces followed by a return).
That’s not a lot of spacing, but that’d not zero. If your first paragraph were longer, it would wrap and the lines of your first paragraph would have less space between them than there is between the paragraphs.
I don’t k ow why the CSS maintainers of the default Lemmy theme have chosen such a small paragraph margin. You’re not the first person to complain about it. It’s pretty bad.
In my Lemmy client, Thunder, your post looks great. Anything you do to increase the space
Ah, so you want to increase the default space between paragraphs? (That’s UI dependent, by the way—in Alexandria the default paragraph spacing is closer to a full line.)
You could always add a horizontal rule between paragraphs if you want to indicate a more substantial division.

Double space at the end of a sentence
To keep the paragraph close.
Double enter to keep them apart
Is how I remember it.
