type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

The usual handling of [[paragraphs in wikitext|Paragraphs in WikiText]] causes single line breaks to be ignored, and double linebreaks to be interpreted as the end of a paragraph.

This behaviour isn't convenient when dealing with material that incorporates hard linebreaks - for instance, poetry. You can mark a block of content as containing hard line breaks like this:

<<wikitext-example src:'"""
This is a line
and this is a new line
while this is yet another line
and this is the final one
apart from this one
"""

'>>

<<.tip 'Note: <strong>Hard Linebreaks in ~WikiText</strong> require an extra blank line after the trailing `"""` before the parser will return to [[block mode|Block Mode WikiText]].'>>.
