Hard line-breaks aren't handled correctly

Thank you for this awesome library!
I'm getting unexpected results when rendering markdown with hard line-breaks:
Example input:
This is a test for how newlines \
are handled.
\
**Testing** \
More \
Okay
Output:
<p>This is a test for how newlines <br />
are handled.</p>
<p>\</p>
<p><strong>Testing</strong> \
More <br />
Okay</p>
Expected Output:
<p>This is a test for how newlines <br />
are handled.</p>
<br />
<p><strong>Testing</strong> <br />
More <br />
Okay</p>
Note: In the terminology of the commonmark spec, these are hard line breaks.
But this behavior accords with the spec, which says:
Hard line breaks are for separating inline content within a block. Neither syntax for hard line breaks works at the end of a paragraph or other block element:
Got it -- thanks for the quick reply! It seems like the free standing \
confuses the parser and that's why the sub-sequent use of it doesn't work anymore in
**Testing** \
More \
Okay
Ah, okay, there were two issues here and I only noticed the first (which is not a bug, the \
in a paragraph by itself).
The second issue (the \
after **
) does look like a bug.
Wait -- you have a space right after the \
on the line with **Testing**
. So it doesn't count as a backslash immediately before a newline. Not a bug after all. Expected behavior.
