2 weeks ago It is possible that we can just programmatically guess which break to remove if we add that feature to the program. But it is better if the programmer in the declarative language tell us exactly what should be removed.
We need to make sure the italics have their corresponding break inside them. this is because the italic often means adding text. So if we wanted to programmatically remove the italics, it would be nice to just remove the breaks also. And technically, the breaks are semantically added!
