Describe the gap in the current documentation

Doc doesn't say how to add newline

Adding backslash didn't work

##subtitle

## COMMON_STEPS
* test 1
\
\
\
* test 2
* test 3

produces

<li><p>test 1
<br />
<br />
\</p></li>
<li><p>test 2</p></li>
<li><p>test 3</p></li>

not 3 line breaks

not 3 line breaks

This is commonmark compliant: https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/?text=%23%23%20COMMON_STEPS%0A*%20test%201%0A%5C%0A%5C%0A%5C%0A*%20test%202%0A*%20test%203

I'm trying to put an empty line between list items, but none of these work

* itemA BACKSLASH_HERE

* itemB

* itemA
<br>

* itemB

* itemA
<br />

* itemB

* itemA
$~$

* itemB

* itemA
&NewLine;

* itemB

* itemA
&nbsp;

* itemB

* itemA


* itemB

I still see items next to each other, without empty line

• itemA
• itemB

standard modes via
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20543454/create-two-blank-lines-in-markdown

\ works with non-list paragraphs.

Why not just use an unambiguous expression that always replaced with HTML break to make life easier.
