 <dt>How do I force a line break?</dt>
 <dd>
 
-You can add a hard line break with the `<br/>` element.
-Although CommonMark and other lightweight markup languages
-allow trailing spaces to indicate breaks between consecutive lines,
-this syntax is incompatible with
-editors that automatically strip trailing whitespace.
+Some lightweight markup languages provide a dedicated syntax for line breaks,
+some support line breaks using the inline HTML element `<br>`\*,
+and some do both.
