How do I insert a line break (newline) in a memo? Tried everything, doesn't work

[rikhtehgaran]

Hi everyone,

I'm using Memos version 0.28.0 (self-hosted). I want to add simple line breaks in my memos (for Persian text formatting). But nothing works as expected.

Here's what I've tried:

1. Two spaces at end of line + Enter (standard Markdown) → doesn't create a <br>, lines are still joined.
2. Double newline (\n\n) → doesn't create a line break either, just a space.
3. Typing <br> manually → this works, but it gets doubled in the output (I see two <br> tags instead of one).

So right now, I can't get a single line break. Either no break at all, or double break.

Am I missing something? Is there a hidden setting or a different syntax that works in Memos?

Thanks for your help.

Memos uses their own gomark parser, not CommonMark. Have you tried putting a backslash at the end of the line?

خط اول\
خط دوم\
خط سوم

Memos has been CommonMark-compliant since v0.25.3 (goldmark on the backend, react-markdown on the web), and since v0.26.0 a single Enter is rendered as a line break — no two-space or backslash tricks needed.

Your <br> getting doubled is expected on 0.28.0: the literal <br> renders, and the newline after it also produces a break. Just remove the manual <br> and press Enter once.

If a single Enter genuinely doesn't break lines for you on 0.28.0, your browser is likely serving a cached old frontend — try a hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R) or clear the cache on any reverse proxy in front of Memos, and share a screenshot if it persists.
