I thought those were typos, accidental line breaks.

Yes, the script that generates the website was written in one evening when I was not entirely sober, and it has some weird behavior around linebreaks that I triggered by typo. Somewhere on my todo list is to add markdown parsing so I can do cutting-edge things like indented block quotes while still having the text reflowable for the RSS feed, but then I'll have to decide how to represent headings and links while still keeping to my 80x24 video terminal aesthetic.
If you don’t mind the conversion happening on the front-end side, Showdown.js has worked really well for me on a few projects.
