How to put multiple line breaks?

hello everyone,
I'm trying to put two line breaks in my pdf file output passin through latex.

This is the MD text I'm using

```
latex begin: latBegin.txt

Text
\
\
New line
```
I give a `multimarkdown -t latex test.md > test.tex` and this is the output

```
\input{latBegin.txt}

Text
~
~
New line

\end{document}
```

I then convert it to pdf with `pdflatex test.tex`

What I'm hoping to see is

```
Text

New line
```

Instead I see

```
Text
New line
```

In the latex file the `\ ` is converted to `~`, which I'm not sure is the intended character.

This is my `latbegin.tex`, rather simple

```
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt, openany, oneside]{scrbook}

\begin{document}
```

Any tip on how to do this? I searched on the docs but can't figure out how to add multiple line breaks.

Thanks!

Start with the reported test.md input and compare the generated test.tex from `multimarkdown -t latex test.md` with the subsequent `pdflatex test.tex` result. Check the handling of the `\ ` lines and the referenced `latBegin.txt` or `latbegin.tex`; done would require a documented, reproducible explanation of how multiple line breaks are supported.
