Ah good spot. Sync for Lemmy renders the new lines.
Still don't know why they are there in the first place :)
perhaps habit? i know many people write markdown documents that way, it can help with editors which dont wrap text, and may be better for using
grep
and related line-based tools.Ah so if you really want to know, it's because one of the mail clients I use quoted-printable encodes the body when sending a message with lines >80-ish characters.
I haven't implemented a decoder on the other end. My current workaround is to pipe everything through fmt before it goes out.
Yes I also actually do this too; I'm a fan of semantic line feeds.
In case you couldn't tell, the whole system is a WIP ;)
