Summarizing the effect of a single newline: no effect in general, but it ends a list item or indented part; thus changing some text into a list item, or indenting it, is more cumbersome if it contains newlines, they have to be removed; see also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don't_use_line_breaks Don't use line breaks].
