|

:animate: fade-in-slide-down
|
||||
|

If you have line breaks in you paragraphs, and also want to apply additional text alignment or
|
||||
indentation, you must apply the alignment tags to the first line.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this will centre the two lines.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: md
|
||||
|
||||
>> Line one is centred. <<
|
||||
Line two is also centred.
|
||||
|

This text is not centred, because it is a new paragraph.

In the **Manuscript Build Settings** you can choose to ignore line breaks within paragraphs in
|
||||
your text. However, some times you still need those breaks. Like for instance on the cover page
|
||||
where you may need to add your name and address. In such cases, you can add ``[br]`` where you
|
||||
want line breaks. These breaks cannot be ignored by any settings and will always be respected.
