We can ignore line breaks from PDF in general.

For markdown I'm in two minds about whether we retain line breaks in normal paragraphs. My instinct is no - i.e. one paragraph is on one line. (This is better as just consistent and no confusion over what your textwrap is).

To get this we probably want to start creating a script that converts our raw text to markdown and does things like:

Probably should create a separate issue for this.
