Tbf I've always hated that about HN formatting as it's not very clear at all that that's how it works.
If there's a newline in my comment, why not retain it? Whyyyyy?!
- xigoi 5mo agoBecause of the 6 people who write HN comments in Vim with hard wrapping turned on.
- AlienRobot 5mo agoThat isn't really a problem because the comment should just be posted hard- wrapped. It looks better that way.
- xigoi 5mo agoOnly if viewed in a monospace font in a window wide enough to fit the entire line.
- Muromec 5mo agoas a vim user I feel unnecrserrily called out
- screamingninja 5mo agoWe just need some Markdown love here. That'll solve everything!
