I'm having a hard time locating the documentation explaining how to add a line break in Doxygen markdown.

I've tried using two spaces at the end of the line, and I've also tried a single or double newline, but none of these are working for me.

I'm using Doxygen version 1.8.9.1.

Put a HTML-break tag <br> where you want to have a linebreak, does the job. At least for man page output and HTML output.
