Example: `A` `B` `C`
Source:
```markdown
`A` `B` `C`
```
For me (both Firefox nightly and Chromium 41 on x86-64 Linux), it is rendered like `A` `BC`, that is, the `B` and `C` are displayed with no space between them despite having one in the source. It seems to be quite sensitive to the exact contents of a paragraph.
(Example in the wild: the mentions of “`Arc`” in the last paragraph of [Rc is unsafe [mostly on 32-bit targets] due to overflow - #36 by dgrunwald - Rust Internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rc-is-unsafe-mostly-on-32-bit-targets-due-to-overflow/2120/36?u=huon) )
