  TLDR: Feature Request: It would be great to be able to add a line break inside a table cell, so that Long amounts of information could be separated into a couple lines (alternatively some form of text wrapping would also work…)

  Problem: Currently, there doesn’t seem to be any way to add a linebreak inside a table cell.

  Tried the following: In markdown other versions of markdown there are different ways to accomplice this (e.g. ‘ ’, ‘ ’, ‘/’, ‘//’, or multiple variations of ‘<br />. However, none of these seem to work in Simplenote (tested on: iOS app, MacOS app, or safari browser).

  Please could this be added to Simple Note, since it is widely available in other versions of markdown?

  Thanks so much

  I was able to add line breaks by using <br> HTML tags in the web app.

  The following code worked for me:

  | Syntax      | Description |
  | ----------- | ----------- |
  | Header      | Title |
  | Paragraph   | First paragraph. <br><br> Second paragraph. |

  This should allow you to separate content within a table cell.
