I'm working on TeXmaker for the first time and I don't understand how to leave a blanket line inside a centered enviroment. If I write
1 Hello,\\
2
3 world!
Also in the .dvi file there is a blank line between Hello and world. But the code
1 \begin{center}
2 Hello,\\
3
4 world!
5 \end{center}
just ignores the third line and gives in output:
Hello,
world!
centered, of course. How can I put a blank line between the two words? I know I can simply close the center tag when I need a blank line, but having another alternative would be great :)
