Thanks. I inserted a line break but HN handles them weirdly.

  Whitespace gets mostly passed straight to the browser, meaning newlines, tabs, and consecutive spaces get rendered as a single space. The exceptions are: two consecutive newlines start a new paragraph, and two spaces at the start of a line denote a preformatted (“code”) block.

    That explains some things. I always thought it was just some badly designed attempt to prevent comment spam where someone just posts a whole bunch of newlines.
