I write a lot of Markdown and use the linebreak syntax a lot. Here is an example of the highlighting in Emacs.

Unfortunately, I haven’t figured it out to get it in Sublime Text. Does somebody know a Markdown syntax package that supports that and a corresponding colour scheme?

Personally, I use and prefer Monokai Pro and @monokai says on the corresponding github issue that he would need a Markdown syntax definition that supports that scope and than can he highlight it with his colour scheme.

Hard line breaks are defined as punctuation.definition.hard-line-break.markdown in the default Markdown syntax which is shipped with Sublime Text 3.

Thanks for the quick reply. I updated the issue about my support wish for the color scheme that I use.

Wooot!, Monokai Pro by @monokai supports Markdown linebreaks and highlights them as blocks.

That’s totally awesome!
