Unfortunatly no! I'm not aware of any markdown specification that describes this in such detail. But e. g. emphasising works also without being mentioned in detail in the specification. So why not the same behaviour for line breaks? That's why I've used the wording "doesn't work".
By the way, I know of another markdown application that allows line breaks in a table.

Hence I've asked. I'm not aware of such a thing. If your "another markdown application" supports it, nice, but it's not compatible with other software. As this is not something that is existing in the specification, and hence other don't have.
You at some point might want to convert it to other formats like pdf/html, using another piece of software..again, it probably won't work ;).

"Doesn't work" is not about wishing or liking things. Compatibility is important, and if your other application decides to introduce their own brew it's up to them.

Suggestion: Don't use this, it won't work in most markdown supporting software.

OK, understood. What's about '\' instead of two spaces?
