Commenting out lines breaks paragraphs #92

(Pretty sure this is a Pandoc-Markdown issue, not LP, but it's annoying enough to me that I wouldn't mind fixing it in LP.)

I split my paragraphs into one-sentence-per-line:

Sentence 1.
Sentence 2.
Sentence 3.

I comment out the second sentence:

Sentence 1.
<!-- Sentence 2. -->
Sentence 3.

Now it's formatted as two paragraphs! No good.

Yes, this has burned me before, too, and arises from the Pandoc parser output. I will need to take a closer look to figure out if the Pandoc AST has the right info in it to know when and when not to "stitch" things back together into a single paragraph.
