In paragraphs, all you need to do is end a line with "\\" to force a
line break. This works for LaTeX, HTML, and plain text export, at least.
This doesn't work in other kinds of syntax, like headlines, but you may
not need it there.

I don't know the answer to this specific issue---you might need to
create a custom export filter---but hopefully you can just use "\\"
instead of a macro like this.
Do you need to enforce line breaks *outside of* a paragraph in plain
text export? If so, what case are you worried about specifically?
Best,
Richard
