You can add a (large!) line break using $$ $$ (an empty block formula), but only if the StackExchange site supports MathJax.

| Apr 12, 2016 at 17:07 | comment | added | Honey | There are currently dozens of comments on a post, and many get folded. Your folding feature would still be effective on these. The pros of formatting outweigh the cons of a few. As for issues with mobile. I don't think that's a really good excuse, SO can kindly improve it's design or completely separate its mobile version from non-mobile clients. | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 17:00 | comment | added | Nick Craver StaffMod | @asma22 There are many ways to exploit that, and you still have to consider the many-comments case where we have dozens in a section. I just can't see us supporting this. It also would produce unexpected behavior on existing mobile and API clients that have always known this to not work. | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 16:58 | comment | added | Honey | @NickCraver maybe if you do the something like either ( up to 600 characters in comment OR up 5/6 lines of with any number of characters). By doing this you still restrict the number of lines but give users more formatting power | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:32 | comment | added | Nick Craver StaffMod | @gdoron - AFAIK it was never supported, that's not to say it wasn't possible at one point | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:30 | comment | added | user209407 | @NickCraver, Actually I think it was supported once, wasn't it? you could add markup to comments, or am I wrong? | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:29 | comment | added | Nick Craver StaffMod | @JulesMazur - it does add a line-break, in a post. Line breaks don't work in comments, never have...they could get obnoxiously, vertically tall if we did allow it. It's been discussed here on meta many times, and every time overwhelmingly shot down. | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:28 | comment | added | user209407 | @JulesMazur, Are you just asking? read the answers you get! | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:23 | comment | added | Jules | I've looked through some questions, and I'm no longer able to find any examples. But then, why write that a line break can be added by using two whitespaces on the page I liked to? | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:18 | comment | added | user209407 | @JulesMazur, that page is for Q&A, not for comments, as they have a limited markup available. Regarding the examples, show me one...! | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 22:17 | comment | added | Jules | This page begs to differ. Not to mention, I see comments around SO with line breaks all the time. | |
