Linebreak in a Design & Print Container without using XAML?

Is there any way to separate lines within a single non-XAML text container in D&P with something that works like a <Linebreak> function?  
{cr} and {lf} don't do it, nor does simply putting carriage returns or shift+carriage returns in the text entered into the container...  

Or should I rewrite the container in XAML?  Or break it up into several different text containers to separate the text data that I want to provide as annotation to images in a D&P publication?

Right now the container contains this sort of info, and I'd like to separate some of the outputted lines with additional vertical space:

FILENAME: {File.NameExt}
PATH: {File.Path}
{File.Height} x {File.Width} pixels  —  Size:  {File.Size}
{File.MD.XMP::dc\rights\Rights\0}
{File.MD.XMP::photoshop\DateCreated\DateCreated\0|format:MMMM DD, YYYY}
{File.MD.XMP::photoshop\Headline\Headline\0}
{File.MD.XMP::dc\description\Description\0}
{File.Persons.Tag|foreach:{value} (Age: {File.Persons.Age|index:{index}}){remaining|is:0,,{remaining|is:1, and ,+ ;replace:+==,}}}
{File.MD.Composite\MWG-Location\Location\0} {File.MD.city}, {File.MD.state} {File.MD.countrycode}
{File.AT.BasicInfo.Description}

I'd appreciate any help that anyone can offer!

Ctrl Return works, I think, if you do this between
letters (like here).

To add lines


like here this works maybe not. 

Then you must do some tricks, add a new container.
Or use a "invicible" color (like white on white) and do Ctrl Return between the letters.

Not sure, if this is, like I write, I did not check it.

<Ctrl>+<Enter> allows you to add one or more empty rows between text/variables.

I made a new simple D&P template and found that <Ctrl>+<Enter> worked perfectly there.
However, in the existing template which uses XAML in some other containers, it won't work in this one, which does not use XAML at all.

I'll continue to experiment to see if I can figure this out..  Or perhaps I'll try to recreate this template....

When XAML is enabled, line feeds or carriage returns have no meaning. 
Maybe toggle the XAML option on and off, in case something got "stuck" in this container?
