  4. In the text editor, place your cursor at the point where you want to insert a line break.

  5. Press the "Shift" and "Enter" keys simultaneously to create a line break. Alternatively, you can use the "Shift" and "Return" keys on a Mac.

Example:
Suppose you have a product description that currently appears as a single paragraph:

This is a product description. It includes all the important details about the product and its features.

By inserting line breaks, it can be formatted into multiple lines for better readability:

This is a product description.It includes all the important details about the product and its features.
