    Also, ‘wall of text’ is tough to read.

    I imagine they might have been bamboozled like I have been quite a few times, where a proper formatted line break is actually 2 line breaks in the editor instead of just one?

    Just a guess haha.

        Clicking enter while typing in a comment/post will put you on a new line in the text editor, but Markdown interprets this as a regular space.

        Having two line breaks (enter twice) in the editor tells Markdown to leave an empty line and then start in a new line.

          You would be hitting enter twice to start a new paragraph in any editor. Thats how you always start a new paragraph.

        That’s the same in any editor.

        If you are at the end of a sentence, and you want to start a new paragraph, you always hit the enter key twice.
