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"
