Wikitext for <br>

[twMat]

There is no native wikitext solution for a line break (right?) and we must type <br>. That html construct is just a tad to annoying to type and it is just ugly.

Can't it simply be something like:

this is a line/
this is a new line

...i.e a simple slash followed by a newline? Of course, the rendered result should hide the slash.

Or maybe even space+newline

this is a line
this is a new line

This looks great in edit mode exactly because you don't see anything and the actual line break (in edit mode) does make it distinctive, i.e it is not incidental.

have a closer look at: https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/rtTrJ4Iwj3s Space-Space-Newline plugin

space - space - newline is "compatible" with the CommonMark spec for markdown

Ha! I obviously missed it when casually playing with your plugins the other day. It seems to work very well and it's a small and independent plugin from what I can tell. Thank you!

BTW, there's probably a small misspelling towards end of the Demo GettingStarted tiddler. It states:

\rules excpet ssnl

I'm guessing it should read except
