How to add extra space in Markdown?

Professional	Business	Enterprise

Markdown doesn’t have a direct way to add extra space between lines. However, you can use simple HTML tags as a workaround:

Use <br> to insert a line break.
Use <p></p> to create a new paragraph with extra spacing.
Use   to add a single space between words or elements.

NOTE

In Markdown, pressing Enter once does not create a new line. Instead, the next sentence continues on the same line. To start a new paragraph, press Enter twice to add a blank line.

Solution

1. Using HTML Tags

For more precise control over spacing, you can use HTML tags directly within your Markdown document. For example, you can use the <br> tag to insert a line break and create space:

Go to the desired Markdown article in the editor.
Paste the below code in the location where you want extra space.

<br>
