One of my colleagues was trying to make his first post in the community and wanted to share numbered steps. Since each step included more than a short phrase, he wanted to leave line breaks (i.e., spaces, or technically, increased leading) between each numbered item in the list. But he found that the auto-formatting prevented him from doing this. He shared this screen recording of his efforts and asked me "can we enable line breaks?"
The same thing happens when using bullet points. The only solution I had was to spend a little extra time undoing the auto-indenting that occurred when adding a number and period at the start of a line. So the list is no longer indented but at least it's a list that reads 1., 2., 3., with spaces in between each step.
Is there a better solution?

Is there any way to include line breaks between numbered/bullet point lists?

The desired functionality seems to be working in the new editor when using the "Shift + Enter" combination:
+3In Office programs it works using the "CTRL + Enter" combination but that doesn't work here.
A workaround could be to create that numbered list manually by replacing the dot with a bracket after the number.

+8Another solution which works for me with the current editor is that I don't use this feature if I want to use line breaks:
If you type "1." it will automatically make a list out of it. However, if I type e.g. "a1." this will not happen. After I finished my list I then remove the additional character.
Of course this will then not use the same formatting as a "regular" numbered list, however to me it looks better than writing everything in the same line.
One more reason to look forward to the release of the new editor! 😉
