To add some meta irony to my previous post: as you can see in my previous post the formatting got all mangled. The new-lines (enters) that I typed got ignored upon posting. I cannot think of any good reason for that "functionality" from a user perspective?
Also I can't edit that post anymore to fix it.
And to think that HN is an example of relatively good software that seems un-bloated, super stable, fast and seems to always work :P

Markdown ignores single return because people used it to manually wrap their plain text but HTML can wrap automatically on the fly. Add two spaces before the return to make a line break `<br>`. Two returns in a row start a new paragraph `<p>`.
