Hi David,
a minor comment from my side, I used the mardown you suggested on my platform and I noticed some weird behaviour for me. I’m not sure this is a bug, or only a limitation of commonmark?
When the last backslash isn’t followed by regular text in the line right after, the last backslash \ is shown instead of a rendered empty line. (see example below)
It happens when the last backslash…
…is followed by an empty line (or a line with two empty spaces) before subsequent text starts
\subsequent text
…is followed by blockquotes
\text in a blockquote
It doesn’t happen when followed by regular text
regular text
Here's the text/code I used
It happens when the last backslash...
...is followed by an empty line (or a line with two empty spaces) before subsequent text starts
\

subsequent text
\
\
...is followed by blockquotes
\
\
> text
It doesn't happen when followed by regular text
\
\
regular text
Any ideas why this is the case?
