They struggle with needing new lines (see recent post for an example). In short, they struggle with white-space (invisible) mark-up.


I forgot to add that the actual newline is not frequently needed for markup. One almost everytime should use a paragraph when one wants a newline.

To me the double blank newline is a good solution. If a text editor automatically strips away blanks, then this is a bug or a feature that should be opted in only.
