It looks like PieFed's markdown parser isn't conforming to the standard regarding line breaks (piefed.zip)

I'm using the markdown editor GUI on PieFed.

A comment I wrote looked OK on PieFed, despite me having doubts because I didn't add spaces at the end of lines to force line breaks.

Today I saw it in Mlem, and line breaks were as expected, not as I've seen them on the PieFed web UI. On Lemmy, they are the same as in Mlem.

Lemmy: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/51439392/22823110

Mlem shows it like Lemmy. No screenshot necessary.

Summary: In Markdown, you need to add 2 or more spaces at the end of a line to force a line break. I didn't do that. A client app and a Lemmy instance show the text correct without a line break. PieFed adds a line break.

Update: I'm terribly sorry for using the word “standard” in a non-standard way. I mean this: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#p

Update 2: Created issue #1524.
