    where a proper formatted line break is actually 2 line breaks in the editor instead of just one?

    Just a guess haha.

    What?

      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.
