In paragraphs, all you need to do is end a line with "\\" to force a line break. This works for LaTeX, HTML, and plain text export, at least. This doesn't work in other kinds of syntax, like headlines, but you may not need it there. > But I couldn't figure out how to convey a newline character when exporting > to plain text (ascii). > > I tried, > > #+MACRO: NEWLINE @@latex:\\@@ @@html:<br>@@ @@ascii:\n@@ > > But that simply puts out "\n" verbatim in the exported txt file. I don't know the answer to this specific issue---you might need to create a custom export filter---but hopefully you can just use "\\" instead of a macro like this. Do you need to enforce line breaks *outside of* a paragraph in plain text export? If so, what case are you worried about specifically?
