"Not one are" sounds wrong to me but "None are" sounds correct. I want to check English rules, one sec

Okay, so it appears "none" can be singular or plural. So it can also mean "not one of any" so "none are" is grammatically correct. Interestingly, "none is" vs "none are" is apparently something not infrequently debated.

Also, could someone tell me how to force a line break?

That's interesting. I should explore the syntax of my native language more, haha. Thanks for the sources!

As for line breaks, I'm not sure if some variant of \n works (guess we'll find out), but I just hit enter twice when I want one.

For some reason it didn't work there. Oh well
