    Little Johnny is no more

    For what he thought was H2O

    Was H2SO4

      Add 2 spaces at the end of your line then enter to the line below for a normal next line

          I wondered whether escaping would work, but not enough to test it.

          I actually like the escaping method better because

          • My time spent with git has resulted in me seeing lots of editors argue about whether whitespace at the end of a line is acceptable, but I prefer to do without
          • I post almost exclusively from my mobile device, so two spaces create a full stop where I don’t want one
          • I’m accustomed to escaping newlines from my shell scripting experience, so it looks right to me
          • It reminds me of xkcd, which I have frequently enjoyed

          Regardless of which method any of us use, thank you for the information!
