Introduction

Markdown tables are great for presenting structured information concisely. Sometimes, you might need to add more detail in a single cell without creating additional columns or rows.

Adding Line Breaks

Markdown itself does not support line breaks within table cells. But, you can use HTML tags like <br> directly in your Markdown to achieve this.

Step-By-Step Guide

Define your table structure.
Where you need a new line within a cell, insert the <br> tag.

This method allows you to keep your table clean and readable while adding necessary details.

Conclusion

Using HTML tags within Markdown is a powerful way to enhance your text formatting capabilities, like adding new lines inside table cells without altering the table's layout.
