Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Linebreaks within paragraph handling (GitHub Flavored Markdown)

[Gerry L. <gjl...@gm...>]

Standard markdown will insert the <br /> if a line is terminated with a
double space-CR sequence.  In other words, "<space><space><CR>" at the
end of a line.  Don't know if that's useful or not.

Otherwise, paragraphs are handled as a blockparser, you might look at
writing an extension to replace the processing done in the
ParagraphProcessor class.

Gerry
