# How to add extra space in Markdown

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:

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

```
<br>
```

          <n class="fa-regular fa-circle-exclamation" data-tomark-pass=""></n> NOTE

          

Markdown doesn't have a built-in way to add extra space. You can use the HTML tags provided in this article as a workaround within Markdown to achieve this effect.

1. If you want to add more space, you can add the same code multiple times as per your requirement.

**Input**

```
Line 1
<br>
<br>
Line 2
```

**Outcome** Line 1 Line 2

#### **2. Adding Non-Breaking Space**

If you want to add extra spaces within a line or between words, you can use the HTML non-breaking space character `&amp;nbsp;`

**Input**

This sentence has extra `&amp;nbsp;` `&amp;nbsp;` `&amp;nbsp;`spaces between some words.

**Outcome**

This sentence has extra spaces between some words.
