New Paragraph in Note?

Is it possible (or not) to begin a new paragraph when typing a note? When I hit the enter key, it begins a new expression. I tried shift-enter, and cntrl-enter, but no new paragraph begins.

Try \n\n . This works for me.

It should only start a new expression if you end a paragraph with quotes. Otherwise, I’ve always just hit enter.

content: "This is my first line.
This is my second line."

should display as

This is my first line.
This is my second line.

@Garmid — here’s something you can try out:

Check out this quick video I made, using this Desmos graph. You can visit the linked graph and copy the newline character, which you need to create a new paragraph in Desmos notes.

Hope this helps!

I apologize, I assumed you were speaking about the Desmos graphing calculator, not CL.

Is there a way to do this also in a table? I’m trying to see if I can write a systems problem in just one row to display 2 or 3 equations.

This will work:

cellContent(#,#): "`y=2x+1` \n `y=-2x+3`" 

This works by setting the column to “Format as Text” but then inserting our latex manually, and using \n to do a line break.

Perfect! I had been trying to get this to work since last school year and dang all it had to do with was a simple drop down option.

Thanks Mike!

Desmos community FTW yet again!

I think he was. I had the same Q. Your response and helped perfectly! Thanks!

I’m curious :thinking:, how do you type in the “newline” character in Desmos notes?

A standard return should suffice either in CL or the note, but i believe \n for latex.
