Line break in emails

I want to add blank vertical space in confirmation emails. It doesn’t look like I can use a standard HTML < br > element for a line break

How do I do this?

@LeroySchulz You can use the return key to make a space. You also can use --- for a horizontal line break if needed to add separation.

You can use the return key to make a space.

That only works for a single vertical space. i.e. using the return key 2-3 times does not increase the vertical space beyond using return once.

You also can use --- for a horizontal line break if needed to add separation.

I frequently the horizontal line but in many cases I don’t want a visible line.

Is there nothing in YCBM that’s equivalent to the < br > element to allow us this flexibility?

In Markdown you can use

three backticks 

```

For a line break.

Hi Tiffany,

I just tried that by copying and pasting the backticks from your message. In the previewer, it shows three backticks rather than a line break.

Is there something else I can try?

Any other suggestions for this?

You need to enter two lines of 3 back ticks to complete the line break.

3 back ticks will create a pre code block, which has a border style.

While YCBM does block HTML tags you can still use HTML Entities.

The trick here is to add &#8203; to an empty line. This will insert a zero-width character which will make Markdown keep the line break.

Example: some text here

&#8203;

More text here. The &#8203 will not render

Excellent. That also worked.

Can this be added to Stylize your booking page and emails - YouCanBook.me Support so others can easily find this?

Thank you.
