Fix newline issue in markdown editor

[joseplayero]

Problem

When a user types newlines into the editor, closes the file and re-opens it, those newlines disappear. Only holding shift while pressing enter preserves the newlines and its because the markdown file gets saved with backslashes \ where the newlines are.

Solution

Fix the issue without needing backslahses and ideally without conditional logic manually parsing particular characters but with changes to the extension settings/config - like tiptap markdown.

We should look to basically have the same behaviour as Obsidian which saves newlines to markdown without backslashes and then opens those files with newlines correctly placed in the editor.
