formatting cannot cross paragraphs. Tag each paragraph individually. If you want simple breaks in a block of text, for example in a block quote, use<br>

There's more to it than that. If there is any whitespace before or after the <br> tag, Lit will make a paragraph break.

So the reliable way to get <br> to work as intended is

Like<br>this.

Asinine but effective.
