Double newlines get deleted after sending the answer

[tellmewhy12]

Double new lines like

this one above, would be deleted in an answer. I'm not sure if it's a bug but I've wanted to use it to separate paragraphs / make maths more readable.

The answers are in markdown, just like on here. So I guess you'll need to do:

Something like this
<br>
for it to work

i.e.:

Something like this
for it to work

Though inserting HTML into answers might cause other issues, there's a very limited subset that are safe, and it'll probably come out encoded instead.

Looks like it's a rendering issue:

• Double newlines are saved to the DB, they just don't make it into the HTML after being passed through Markdown.
• <br> doesn't get mangled, but it doesn't get rendered either:

{"text":"This is the prompt\n\n<br>\n\nThis comes after it"}

I'm thinking that if we're doing markdown, then we should probably support inline <br> tags and allow that.

This is just a matter of actually showing the newlines in the UI I think. They are definitely present in the DB

I think this was fixed in #1746.
