Markdown single newlines are rendered as paragraph boundaries

Open srackham opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Single newlines are rendered as paragraph boundaries and consequently Markdown documentation not formatted correctly.

For example, compare the opening paragraph this README on Github and on nest.land:

  • https://nest.land/package/drake
  • https://github.com/srackham/drake/

FYI GH seem quite inconsistent with this... whilst they aren't a new paragraph in README's, they are in issues

@ebebbington Yes, GH is inconsistent, but they admitted that this behaviour was a mistake back in 2014. The point is that the behaviour does not conform to the Markdown specification.

Hey @srackham! So sorry for the late reply to this.

I see your point on the opening lines of the drake module README. This is likely something that needs to be fixed with the markdown formatter we currently used.

Yeah sadly we can't really fix that
