You can use the newline character in a Leanpub manuscript.

We can't paste the character into this article for you to copy and paste, unfortunately.

So, here's a brief hacky way to get the character.

Open a new document in Microsoft Word.

Type the following on a line by itself:

U+000A

Then, with the cursor blinking at the end of the character string, you hit Control + Option on a Mac, or ALT+X on a PC. That generates the character:

The character shows up as a box with a question mark inside.

If you copy that character into the Write tab for a Leanpub book written in our Browser writing mode, it will be there, but invisible:

That will create a newline in the book when you generate a preview:

If you know a better way to get a copy-paste example of the newline character, please share it on the Leanpub Authors Forum.

OK, that's it!
