Hello! I'm writing my application in QML, and inside a TextArea formatted with RichText I want to display this:

a header

(an empty line)

another header

my first thought was to go with a <br> tag, but it has a problem: it creates 2 empty lines, don't know why. so doing this

<h1>hello</h1>
<br>
<h2>world</h2>

produces

hello

(an empty line)
(an empty line)

world

I tried using the <pre> tag:

<pre>
</pre>

but no empty lines were displayed

the only working workaround was to use a non breaking space &nbsp;, but being it a TextArea, the user is able to edit the text, and so there would be a "rogue" space instead of an empty line. How can I display just a single line break between two headers (or even paragraphs, but in my case the header is needed)?

If I write some text inside the tags yes, a single line is created, but with the text. I want a blank line, and unfortunately empty tags are apparently stripped out by the textarea

What about a non-breaking space?

Edit: I just realized you addressed that in the post.

it's what I'm currently doing, but was hoping to find a better solution... thank you anyway!
