Markdown issue

Opened this issue 9 years ago · 7 comments

In Markdown, ending a line with two spaces and starting text on a new line after that should insert a line feed. In our docs, the line feed is not added and we end up with the next sentence on the same line, separated from the last punctuation sign by two spaces.

ie.

First line.__
New line in same paragraph.

should generate:

First line.
New line in same paragraph.

but it generates:

First line.  New line in same paragraph.

Ah.... that's going to be more painful!

I think the issue is in fact that the second space is changed to a   entity to make sure it's displayed... hence killing the Markdown ;)

@olance could you let me know what you think about that?

I think we're good (at least better) now.

Had the problem again today: second space was changed to   so Markdown would not take the line feed into account.
