[Tex/LaTex] New line (not new paragraph)

line-breakingparagraphs

I could not find a (no verbose) solution to differentiate new line from new paragraph.

As far as I know, \\ and \newline both insert a new line. But the first one is often not recommended.

A space line inserts a new paragraph.

To separate between paragraphs (and to facilitate the reading), I use the following code which gives a white space and indentation with a new paragraph.

\setlength{\parskip}{\baselineskip}%
\setlength{\parindent}{15pt}%

My problem arises when I want to go to a new line in the same paragraph without starting a new paragraph.

Here is a similar question but still no verbose solution: Separating some paragraphs with a blank line, and other paragraphs without a blank line?

Ideally, I am thinking in two white spaces for a new paragraph and one white space for a new line. Is it possible to code?

\\ denotes a new line and <return><return> denotes a new paragraph, as each of these is only two characters it is hard to imagine a less verbose markup that distinguishes the two cases.
