If a user adds new lines to their ticket body, the HTML body still treats them as new lines. Didn't it used to replace them with br tags? Either way, new lines are lost in the HTML in both Lighthouse and apps using the API.

    This is probably due to how markdown works. You need to add two spaces after a line to get the single line break.

    We've been pushing a bunch of tweaks to the Tender formatter and finally have something that covers all the edge cases that people have reported. We'll be pushing this code to lighthouse soon.

    I just pushed it. We're supporting the same markdown tweaks that Github uses. In some simple cases, you can separate lines by a linebreak and have it translated to markdown linebreaks.
