How to add multi line breaks in preview mode

Help

As one says :

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Multiple empty lines are a no no in good typography. We speak rather about vertical space and this is added via styling the different sorts of paragraphs, header, and so on.

That beeing said, when I want to add white vertical space, I just put “em spaces” on lines by themselves and it works perfectly. In edit mode, you have two possibilities :

  • invisible space : (you don’t see it, but it’s there, I guarantee you)
  • visible space :  

I have Typinator macros (you can do the same with tools like TextExpander) :

EMSP → types the invisible EM SPACE
emsp → types the visible (HTML entity)  

In the end, for example, it’s easy to type

Last text

 

 

 

new text

It works beautifully.

Another idea : you could also program a Keyboard Maestro macro that types

Carriage return
 
Carriage return

And affect it to, say, Opt-return

My two cents.
