I actually found this ridiculous solution online!…
OK. heres another solution to add blank lines, but this is not a clean method:
add a – or . and change its color equal to the background color.

UNREAL that simply switching from html to visual, STILL, instantly strips nearly every single line and paragraph break. What year is it again?
