I have my layout written in Haml and in a file called "layout.haml" and I have all my files of the variety name.html.markdown (or name.html.textile) and I can not for the life of me get a line break
in textile or markdown to work.

According to the textile documentation all it takes is a physical line break, while markdown can either end with two spaces and hit return or a line with only spaces on it. I've tried both.

I have set :markdown, :layout_engine => :haml in my config file.

What I don't understand is does set:markdown just mean "Set markdown to different type than my layout engine which is haml"

In both textile and markdown I do get some of the features in the documentation I've found such as headers and such, but for some reason the line break won't work.

Any ideas on why this is?
