'Hardlinebreak' setting in blackfriday is not adding a <br> tag

I did try that, but I seemed to get the same result except not showing up in the hugo config output.


The config.toml is pretty minimal I’ve tried moving the blackfriday block around but it dosn’t do anything. And as the config command seems to be showing that hugo sees it. I can’t imagine how it would be the problem.

baseURL = "https://www.example.com/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "Let Them Eat Cake"
ignoreFiles = [ "\\.mp4$", "\\.mov$", "\\.avi$" ]

[blackfriday]
    extensions = ["hardLineBreak"]

[params]
  email = "PBn@example.com"

  S3 = "https://PBn.s3host.com"
  box = "https://www.example.com/v"

I have tried using two different version of Hugo, the one that came with my package manager and the newest one.

An example of a front matter I would use on a post would be:

+++
date = 2018-02-04T15:45:00-08:00
title = "Title "
categories = ["misc"]
header = "yellowheader"
author = "PBn"
rating = ""
marquee = "The marquee is just a custom summery for the front page"
[blackfriday]
  extensions = ["hardLineBreak"]
+++
blah blah blah 

And the acutal single.html file:

{{ partial "header.html" . }}
	<main class="container">
		<article>
			<div class="{{ index .Params "header" | default "postheader" }}">
				<h1><a href="{{ .Permalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a></h1>
				{{ with .Params.author }}
						<h5> {{ . }} </h5>
				{{ end }}
				<h6><time>{{ .Date.Format "02.01.06 15:04" }}</time></h6>
			</div>
			<div class = "content">
				{{ .Content }}
			</div>
			<div>
				<ul id="tags">
					{{ range .Params.tags }}
					<li><a href="{{ "/tags/" | relLangURL }}{{ . | urlize }}">{{ . }}</a> </li>
					{{ end }}
				</ul>
			</div>
			<div>
				{{ template "_internal/disqus.html" . }}
			</div>
		</article>

	</main>
{{ partial "sidebar.html" . }}
{{ partial "footer.html" . }}

The bones of the site are modeled on Blank

It is worth noting that if I create a new Blank hugo site on the same computer and turn hardlinebreaks on it will work. So something has to have changed I just have no idea what I did.
