The non-breacking space is parsed as a normal whitespace

[ThePirate42]

While searching for a way to force multiple subsequent newlines in markdown without using html, I found this trick: if you start a line with a non-breacking space, that line is still considered to be containing actual text, wich means that, for example, a sequence of newline-nonbreackingspace-newline-newline will generate an "invisible" paragraph, and won't just be collapsed. This trick sadly doesn't seem to work everywere, your extension included, but at least it works in Github:

Since this works in Github, shouldn't this be at least supported in Github mode?

We don’t do the markdown rendering, but defer to markdownit. Instead of using a non-breakable space, you could use a tolerated HTML tag, such as <br />:

a

<br />

b

Which renders with a skipped paragraph both with markdownit and with github:

a

b

vs. without <br /> line:

a

b

By the way the “github” option is purely stylistic. It’s not a “mode”, it just affects the way the markdown rendering looks.
