    Clicking enter while typing in a comment/post will put you on a new line in the text editor, but Markdown interprets this as a regular space.

    Having two line breaks (enter twice) in the editor tells Markdown to leave an empty line and then start in a new line.

      You would be hitting enter twice to start a new paragraph in any editor. Thats how you always start a new paragraph.
