Steps 2 and 3 are to defeat the auto-complete rule that in
certain cases turns two consecutive spaces into a period and
one space. The other steps are the
same as what you would do on a regular computer.
Note that you should only do this if you are typing a poem
or something else where you would use the HTML element.
Normally you should use paragraph breaks, which you get by
pressing “return” twice, so that a blank line is between the
paragraphs (same as on a regular computer).
What web browser are you using? I have a “return” button in Safari (on
an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1).
I might try HTML breaks next time.
Won’t work; the LW Markdown implementation doesn’t do raw HTML. (In
other words, when I typed “ ” in my previous comment and this one, I
didn’t need to do any escaping to get it to show up rather than turn
into a line break.)
If you don’t mind some hassle, it would probably work to write your
comment in the “Notes” app, then copy and paste it.
(Deleted this minor comment as no longer relevant, so instead: how do you add line breaks with iOS 4? 20 seconds of Google didn’t help me.)
Type a space.
Type a letter (doesn’t matter which).
Erase the letter.
Type another space.
Press “return”.

The problem is, I don’t think I have a return button? Ah well, it’s not a big deal at all. I might try HTML breaks next time.
