Paragraph Break
On a Confluence page, a continuous line of text with two carriage returns at its end forms a paragraph. This is equivalent to a continuous line of text followed by a blank line.
When rendered into HTML, the result is a line of text wrapped in a set of <p></p>
tags.
Line Break
Confluence provides two options for forcing a line break within a paragraph of text:
- Implicitly, by entering a single carriage return at its end.
- Explicitly, by entering two consecutive backslashes:

When rendered into HTML, the result is a paragraph of text split into separate lines by <br>
tags, wherever a forced line break appears.
For most purposes, explicit line breaks are not required because a single carriage return is enough.
The examples below show how to use explicit line breaks.

If you wish to use multiple consecutive line breaks, each should be separated by a space character. For example, use {{
}} for two consecutive line breaks.
Horizontal Rule
Use four dashes (----) to create a horizontal rule.
Make sure that the dashes are on a separate line from the rest of the text.
