I apologize if this is not right to post here but im not sure where to go with this one as i havent really found an answer myself.

See, heres the thing, as yall surely know when i hit enter on a line once it will not work, it has to be two.

Is that intentional, if so why?

how does one disable that?

    It’s the way Markdown works. If you put two spaces at the end of a line
    before hitting enter, then it will only do a normal linebreak.

      Example: Type

      Once upon a midnight dreary  
While I was pondering, weak and weary  
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

      To get:

      Once upon a midnight dreary
      While I was pondering, weak and weary
      Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

      (You can highlight the source code to find the extra spaces at the end of each line). Note that this is different from paragraphs, which add spacing between them:

      Once upon a midnight dreary

While I was pondering, weak and weary

Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

      Once upon a midnight dreary

      While I was pondering, weak and weary

      Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

        For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

          Not
in
markdown

          (Pressed Shift+Return after every word.)

          Not in markdown.

          But it works in other word processors (like Word, libreoffice) that distinguish between line breaks and paragraph breaks.
