Jerboa currently ignores single line breaks. I think single line breaks should be implemented as the only other alternative is double line breaks which are not always appropriate.

  • We could probably add it easily to the existing markdown library since it supports plugins (in fact, the lemmy link handling is done with a plugin).

    But the main reason to not do it is to not be surprising. Ideally Jerboa renders the same as lemmy-ui and other Lemmy mobile apps. That’s why standards exist.
