I have the following cells in a markdown table:

something something that's rather long and goes on for a very long time something else

I'd like to be able to insert a break in the middle line, so the middle column isn't so wide. How can I do that in Markdown? Do I need to use HTML tables instead?

Just for those that are trying to do this on Jira. Just add \\ at the end of each line and a new line will be created:

|Something|Something else \\ that's rather long|Something else|

Will render this:
