Markdown-to-HTML: Suppressing <br> tags
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2026 1:53 am
Experimenting with Oxygen for generating HTML output of Markdown documents. One behavior that is currently a show-stopper for me is Oxygen generating a <br> tag at the end of each line when converting a Markdown document into HTML. Can this be suppressed?
This behavior is inconsistent with all the other Markdown processors I have played with, where <br> tags are only generated when using a backslash at the end of a line or 2 spaces (which to use depends on processor, where for me, I use backslash [CommonMark specification]).
