When replying by mail, Discourse set a line break every 70 characters or so. Is it made on purpose ? It’s quite unsightly.

Really? I use Gmail and when I look at the sent messages, there is no line breaks.

[תמונה] thomasschmit: when I look at the sent messages, there is no line breaks. They aren’t so easily seen. Some OS use “\r” some “\n” some “\r\n” This can be fixed with “replace” code. But I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here.

Hum… When I look at the source of my mails, there is indeed line breaks in the plain text version. Is Discourse using this one rather than the HTML one, which may then be parsed in Markdown?

This is changing, we will begin to prefer HTML version as the line break problem is impossible otherwise.

I still see a similar issue regularly here: [תמונה] Consistent attribute syntax Extensions I wonder what is the advantage of putting the attribute block after the block? I would personally follow “Beyond Markdown” recommendation and put them before the block and for inline I would leave them after The main reason for this... I wonder if the folks at commonmark should just go ahead and just enable traditional markdown linebreaks though.
