Paragraphs & Line Breaks

Plain text becomes <p> blocks. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines:

First paragraph
spans multiple lines.

Second paragraph
also spans.

Compiles to:

<p>First paragraph spans multiple lines.</p>
<p>Second paragraph also spans.</p>

Note: a single \n within a paragraph becomes a SPACE (lines join). To force a <br> break:

• Two trailing spaces, then \n
• Or \ at end of line (CommonMark "hard line break")

Line 1
Line 2

Output:
<p>Line 1<br />Line 2</p>

Implementation: process line-by-line, maintaining a state machine. Blank line = end-of-paragraph trigger.
