Or you can always

In katknott's code, it was actually paragraphs with a single nbsp (Non-Breaking Space)...
So I'm assuming they deliberately tried to add "gaps" that stuck.
So maybe they typed: ENTER + SPACE + ENTER after every line... lol.
Side Note: I forget how to search for nbsp in Word/LibreOffice. Does a normal space match? Or would you have to use a special symbol?

... No. Google Docs is fine for a single user too.
The syncing on any of your devices is great, so you can type on your computer, phone, etc., and have everything synced and up to date "in the cloud".
And it makes it easy to share a document/URL with someone (better than attachments, manually versioning files, etc.).
While Google Docs has many issues:
- Not good at Styles
- Not powerful with Find/Replace
- No(?) Widow/Orphan control
- Atrocious HTML/EPUB Export
- [...]
For a normal person, it's fine.
Advanced users? Yeah, you might have lots of missing settings/niceties that would be better handled in Word/LibreOffice.
Lacking in many fronts? Yes.
But trash? No.
