When you're in vi or vim, put yourself in insert mode and then type CTRL V

Once you've typed CTRL V you can now type and control character, such as CTRL M or CTRL L

CTRL M is carriage return
CTRL L is line feed

Having said that, a simple Google search would have given you the answers but also read these:
