That's the claim, but there's a problem with line lengths. A single
newline in markdown text translates to a "hard" HTML linebreak, <br>.
So authors who want the body of a paragraph to reflow on demand do not
insert such breaks. So, in turn, we get super-long lines in raw markdown.
Hm, not sure if that's correct. Looking at (the source version) of the
syntax description at
https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax.text suggests that
you can have (single) newlines in the source without getting hard <br />
things. (Compare the html result
https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax.)
Instead the syntax intro there says: "When you /do/ want to insert a
|<br />| break tag using Markdown, you end a line with two or more
spaces, then type return. ... "a simplistic “every line break is a |<br
/>|” rule wouldn’t work for Markdown"
cheers,
