Correct syntax for newline in Github Bio

I just did it by simply copying and pasting the character corresponding to this codepoint | unicode-table.com | as many time as needed in order to align the text the way I wanted.

This is the procedure I followed: at the end of each line I pressed Enter, then I filled the new line with 7 instances of the character mentioned above; then I pressed Enter again and started the new line with its text.


This question is a little stale, but I found it before I solved this myself, so I thought I'd drop my solution.

The bio doesn't appear to honor markdown, but neither does it accept HTML entities or elements. I worked around this with non-breaking characters to create long "words" similar to how you've used "_".

You can see in my bio that I needed a " " and a "‑" to format mine. The long word will pop to the next line. If you have a real short line, you can extend it with a lot of non-breaking spaces, but this probably isn't necessary. Since you cannot enter " " you need to use copy/paste or ALT codes (not looked up, but someone might add these for you). Those are the real characters above, so you can take them from this answer.


As told to me by github support there is no way !, see here -

According to Github Support


Currently;

Maybe they don't allow us to do it via the normal way, But It is possible to do of course. We can use the auto newline rule for the words which are too long for appending to the current line, for our need. All we need to do is putting other Unicode Spaces instead of normal space. And normal space between lines, for using newline rule against forbidden newline rule :)

And if you want a free line, because of the character limitations, you can use the longer one;

" " instead of " "      (Try selecting spaces between quotes with your mouse)

like me, my profile: github.com/cosmicog. Also this trick makes me create unnecessary spaces in stackoverflow too, like above, in the quote box :)

I've tried other answers, html ways, but no, they handle html tricks ofc. But I don't think that they may want to block unicode spaces, just for making users hate the designer :)
