Markdown newline behaviour

GitLab is proposing a modification in how it renders line-breaks in markdown files to align with the markdown specification, which requires two or more spaces at the end of a line for a line-break to be rendered. This change aims to ensure markdown files appear consistent across projects, eliminating the current behavior where line-breaks are automatically rendered. Paragraphs will remain unaffected, continuing to be separated by one or more blank lines. This adjustment will apply universally across GitLab Flavored Markdown, affecting descriptions and comments in issues and merge requests. The goal is to maintain uniformity by avoiding different behaviors and rendering code for varied contexts, and GitLab is seeking feedback on this proposed change.
