Single "Enter" (called "Return" on Mac keyboards) in the source does not affect the appearance of the text. It does not create a new paragraph.

If I type the Return key three (or more) times I will be creating empty paragraphs on the page. There is really no reason for having more than one blank line (two enters) anywhere in the source, since paragraphs are already separated from one another by a bit of space comfortable for extended reading. |
