When I use a Markdown linebreak (two spaces at end of line), I can’t manage to create a new <p> tag, instead getting <br>s after each line in a single <p> tag.
Hello.--
Can I be indented?
returns
<p>Hello.<br>Can I be indented?</p>
I’m trying to just indent every Markdown line, so if any other methods can be used, that’d be nice to know as well. (AFAIK I can’t indent after a <br>)
Any help is appreciated!
I always have a cognitive dissonance when talking about this.
A linebreak is not a new paragraph. Like, as a concept. Something to consider. 
What does “indent” mean in this context? Also, if that isn’t what you want to return, please show the HTML you do expect returned.
Ah ye, concept-wise I guess I wasn’t clear.
From
Hello!--
I'd like to be another p tag.
(The -s are supposed to be end spaces) I’d like:
<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I'd like to be another p tag</p>
But I get:
<p>Hello!<br>
I'd like to be another p tag</p>
By indent, I meant that I planned to apply a text-indent CSS style, and indent each <p> tag.
Markdown isn’t really a standard, but in my experience double spaces add line breaks, via the br element.
Normally to seperate paragraphs one uses a full newline. Which markdown parser are you coming from?
Ah, I guess I’d missed that when I learned Markdown. It does generate <p>s now when I insert full newlines.
Thanks for your help!
