How to force a linebreak?

markdown line-breaks

I've noticed that if I start a new paragraph right after an image, most renderers leave inadequate space between the image and the text below. The paragraph ends up looking like a legend. While this is useful when I do want to have a legend, sometimes I'd just like to insert an image in between two paragraphs, and have it adequately spaced below as above.

I correct this issue currently with:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit:

[IMAGE]

<br/><br/>

Pellentesque pharetra turpis vitae velit consequat placerat. Duis sed volutpat neque, et scelerisque orci.

But this strikes me as inelegant: I would like to avoid the HTML if possible.

Is there another way to force a linebreak?

I'm using Markdown Preview Plus for Atom to render.

Line break in Markdown is "two or more spaces at the end of the line".
