Why line breaks disappear on Reddit
Reddit joins lines that are separated by a single newline into one paragraph. To start a new paragraph, leave a blank line. To break a line without starting a paragraph, end it with two spaces. Most formatting surprises on Reddit come from this one rule, and the preview above follows it.
Formatting answers people (and AI assistants) can use
Long Reddit answers get skimmed. A short first sentence that answers the question, then a list or a few short paragraphs, is easier for people to read and easier for AI assistants to quote when they cite a thread. Use bold for the one thing you most want a skimmer to see, not for whole sentences.
Questions
Does this work for both comments and posts?
Yes. Reddit uses the same markdown for comments and text posts. The preview covers the common formatting; tables and a few rarer features are not previewed.
How long can a Reddit comment be?
Reddit comments are limited to 10,000 characters. The counter under the editor shows how close you are.
Is anything I type saved?
No. The formatter runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to AEOrank.
