问题:

When editing an issue and clicking Preview the following markdown source:

a
b
c

shows every letter on a new line.

However, it seems to me that pushing similar markdown source structure in README.md joins all the letters on one line.

I'd like the new lines preserved in the README.md in this project: https://github.com/zoran119/simple-read-only-test

Any idea how?

Interpreting newlines as <br /> used to be a feature of Github-flavored markdown, but the most recent help document no longer lists this feature.

Fortunately, you can do it manually. The easiest way is to ensure that each line ends with two spaces. So, change

a
b
c

into

a__
b__
c

(where _ is a blank space).

Or, you can add explicit <br /> tags.

a <br />
b <br />
c

If you want to be a little bit fancier you can also create it as an html list to create something like bullets or numbers using ul or ol.

<ul>
<li>Line 1</li>
<li>Line 2</li>
</ul>

According to Github API two empty lines are a new paragraph (same as here in stackoverflow)
