Prevent Jupyter Notebook from merging markdown cells

Question

Whenever I export my Jupyter notebook to a PDF via LaTeX, it seems to merge the markdown cells adjacent to one another into the same line.

Example

In Jupyter notebook:

In exported PDF:

How do I prevent the merging of these markdown cells?

Answer 1

I managed to fix this issue by inserting cells between adjacent markdown cells and filling them up with <br> tags.

Like so:

*****************************
*      Markdown cell 1      *
*****************************

*****************************
*   <br> (1 or more times)  *
*****************************

*****************************
*      Markdown cell 2      *
*****************************

Note: This won't work if you insert the <br> tags at the end of the first markdown cell or at the beginning of the second one. The <br> tags need to be in their own separate cell.
