I was more referring to the behavior some markdown parsers have, which is that they (deliberately) make line-breaks significant.

Try writing something in your text editor of choice, and hard wrapping it at 80 columns. You then paste it into a github issue, and you'll see that the line breaks are preserved. It gets pretty annoying, even if all you have to do is join all the lines in the paragraph/section.

I'm not advocating for a total decoupling of presentation from raw code, but I do think that significant newlines are a point of particular irritation.
