I would like the ability to create a new line without having a big space in between the text. Heres an example:

Sometimes I want a new line like:
This, where the spacing between them is more like a paragraph

But instead I get something that looks like:

This, so it is difficult to tell the two lines are related due to the newline

I hope my explanation makes sense, please let me know if it does not. I just started using BookStack and I love it. It scales to my brain in almost everything except this one little detail. Thanks for building this amazing tool and thank you for your help in advance.

Hi @DAlperin, That makes sense! If you press Shift+Enter instead of just Enter you should land on a newline within the same block, Instead of creating a new paragraph section.

This generally follows the behavior of other common applications like Microsoft Office.

Let me know if that does what you need.

Wow I feel rather dumb. Sorry about that. This is what happens when I transition away from what I have been using for years. Old habits die hard. Sorry and thanks again.
