Actually, that's not right.  But neither
was what I wrote. ;-(  This is correct:

C-q C-j
C-q C-l
C-q C-j

C-j is often bound, even by default in
vanilla Emacs (`emacs -Q'), to commands
that do other things, besides insert a
newline char.

E.g.: In `emacs-lisp-mode' it's bound
to `electric-newline-and-maybe-indent'.
In *scratch* it's bound to
`eval-print-last-sexp'.

If you want to insert a newline char
then use `C-q C-l'.  Don't use C-l.

De rien.

It's a Lisp file, `pp-c-l.el'.  The doc page
I mentioned points to the file, but here's
the direct URL:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/pp-c-l.el

Just (require 'pp-c-l), after putting the file in
your `load-path`.  Nothing else is needed.

No reason to do that, here.

You can ignore the byte-compiler warnings.
You see them because the library's compatible
with older Emacs versions.

It can also be easily...just by downloading it
(a single Lisp file) FROM the GIT repo whose
URL I gave TO a directory in your `load-path'.

Here's the direct URL to the file:
