Problem

Code blocks immediately following text (without a blank line) render on a single line instead of preserving line breaks.

Example

Here is some code:

function test() {
return true;
}

The code block above renders as a single line in MacDown, but GitHub renders it correctly as multiple lines.

Impact

• Markdown parsing compatibility issue with GitHub
• Makes code blocks unreadable when proper spacing isn't used
• Different behavior than standard Markdown parsers
