Because HN doesn't preserve line-breaks and `>` doesn't do anything. You'd have to double-space the entire poem which is just silly.
HN should just preserve all line-breaks so we don't have to hack around it.
- vacri 9y agoHN preserves linebreaks. It's the paragraph formatting that gets in the way of poetry like the above.
- always_good 9y agoNo it doesn't (The above was written "No\nit\ndoesn't") You may be referring to some sort of distinction here, but I'm just talking about newlines.
- vacri 9y agoNo, just a brainfart. I was thinking of something else. Sorry.
- imron 9y agoOr it could do what Markdown does and preserve line-breaks that end in double spaces.
