Hard line break when converting to plain text

Hard line break when converting to plain text

[Fernando Botelho]

Hi,

I would like to have a hard line break as a paragraph ends and an URL is 
placed immediately after on the subsequent line.

I tried leaving a couple of spaces after the period that ends the 
paragraph, but when I convert to plain text, a backslash appears right 
before the hard line break.

The URL shows-up on the following line, so the break happens correctly, 
but for some reason the backslash appears on the txt version of the file.

Any way I can have the hard line break without the backslash appearing 
on my txt file?

thanks very much,

Fernando

Are you using pandoc 2.x?

Are you using `-t plain` or `-t markdown`?

In pandoc 2.x, `-t plain` should work the way you expect.
Or, use `-t markdown-escaped_line_breaks`.
