markdown line break

Hi

I am trying to put a line break into markdown text. The syntax cheatsheet says:

*Manual line breaksEnd a line with two or more spaces *

I'm not sure if that is correct or I am doing it correctly but that doesn't do anything. I have tried using shift enter but that only gives me a new paragraph.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

In order to create a single line break in markdown, at the end of the first line add two spaces and then a manual return.

In order to create a double line break in markdown, at the end of the first line add two manual returns.
