New Line about officedown

[davidgohel]

The new version is allowing this syntax for line break:

This is a dummy text, `r officer::run_linebreak()`this goes into a new line

[davidgohel]

Yes it's probably possible, but I don't see much interest in that. Doesn't \newline works already—without officedown?

I think there is a mistake in your command. If you do br <- officer::run_linebreak(), then br is an object, don't add parenthesis.

`r br`

I think the most efficient way of adding line breaks (soft return, not a new paragraph) in an officedown document is as you suggested (but no parenthesis)

[davidgohel]

It does not exists but that's a very good suggestion

[SchmidtPaul]

Do you think it is possible to define a custom command such as \newline with this? Ideal would be something like

\br <- `r officer::run_linebreak()`

Or maybe more like this stackoverflow question R Markdown similar feature to "newcommand" in LaTex?:

\newcommand{\br}{`r officer::run_linebreak()`}

If not, is this the most efficient way of adding line breaks in an officedown document?

``` r
br <- officer::run_linebreak()
```

`r br()`
