So you escape the newline and you get a newline? That’s some black magic voodoo. But hey if it works. Much simpler to handle than double space since you can see them and your phone doesn’t try to make them into period space instead of space space.
Newlines with double space (or space backslash apparently) also let’s you have newlines in a quote block without exiting the block. I see a lot of people struggle with that on Lemmy. E.g.
> A quote with multiple lines
Will eat the the newline
Orexitif you don't handle the newline
will render as:
A quote with multiple lines
Will eat the the newline
Or exit if you don’t handle the newline
So you want to do
> A quote with multiple lines \
Will eat the the newline \
Orexitif you don't handle the newline
A quote with multiple lines
Will eat the the newline
Or exit if you don’t handle the newline
Or add space space at the end instead of space backslash.
Or just \ at the end, like so
Texty text text \ TextBecomes
Like this
