Blank lines created by <br> cannot be parsed correctly #23

Open luyuhuang opened 4 years ago

Hi all,

When I try to convert the following html to plain text:

<div>aaa</div>
<br>
<div>bbb</div>

the output is 

aaa
bbb

but I think there should be a blank line between aaa and bbb. I try to read the code and found that the blank line created by <br> is ignored because of context.prev is _NEWLINE(created by the previous <div>). Is there a way to solve this problem? Thank you very much.

I agree that an extra newline makes sense here 👍
