====== Keeping newlines as is? ======

:?: Can I display the newline without using the magical '%%\\%%'? I find that when DokuWiki parses my document it eats up all my newlines, but I want the newlines displayed just as what I input.

:!: If you want a new paragraph just add a blank line. Preformatted text is possible with %%<file>%% and %%<code>%% tags. A mode which preserves newlines but applies other formatting is not available currently without the use of plugins. As a side effect this encourages the users to create more structured texts, creating paragraphs for logical blocks.

:!: The [[plugin:xbr|xbr plugin]] allows you to use simple line breaks to add normal line breaks.

:!: The [[plugin:poem|poem plugin]] adds a %%<poem>%% tag which is similar to %%<file>%% in that newlines are preserved.  However, with %%<poem>%%, other formatting (**bold**, __underline__, etc.) works normally.
