In the below markdown example the starred version of latex command 

\begin{multicols*}{2}

is *not parsed,* but 

\begin{multicols}{2}

is parsed. I need a stared version to retain line breaks (ie. two spaces at 
the end of line). How to achieve this?

header-includes:
    - \usepackage{multicol}

Each practised consent slices the road guard.  
A lined territory refreshes a revenue.
