incorrect html linebreaks #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
steps to reproduce the problem

1. debian sid, pandoc 0.44,
2. get a markdown file such as http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README
3. pandoc -S README.txt -o README.html 
4. less README.html

HTML linebreaks happen before the closing > tag, newlines beginning with
the same > tag.

This is the way Haskell's Text.XHtml library writes (X)HTML.
Though it looks odd, it is valid HTML.  I believe that the
author of Text.XHtml wanted a way to indent structurally
without introducing any semantically significant whitespace,
and this is a way of doing that.

So, we don't regard this as a bug, and changing this behavior
would require changes upstream, in Text.XHtml.

If you don't like how it looks, you could always pipe the
output of pandoc through tidy.
