The reason why I last wanted to do that, is to make a nicely formatted block of contact info.

The only way you can do it appears to be to either put every line in a separate paragraph, or make a preformatted code block ("verbatim paragraph") out of it. Sucks.

Ideally the text should formatted as normal text, but respecting my line breaks.

Or maybe I should be making a bulletless list? Is that possible?
