The thing with two spaces at the end of a line indicating line break doesn't make sense to me. It is invisible in most editors, so it is easy to mess up.

That reminds me of a [joke response](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8767426) to a vid on the antagonistic programming language, intercal: block comments ought to be text between two lines of 5 spaces each :B

In fairness to markdown, it probably isn't convention to break up a paragraph on different lines with the expectation that it will wrap.
