Line Breaks
Double line breaks separate text with a blank line and can be created by pressing the enter key twice at the end of a line. A single line breaks separate text by starting a new line directly below the previous and can be created by adding a \
symbol or two spaces at the end of a line and then pressing the enter key.

Best Practices
Make sure to not add tabs or spaces in front of the paragraph text, because they will create unwanted indentation.
