I'm a little confused as to why it would ever be a good idea to let
markup generate empty paragraphs?
If I understand correctly then the current behaviour seems inconsistent
with HTML. Surely if there is only a single line break then this is
actually equivalent to keeping everything on one line, ie:
(:title some title:)
Some heading
would be rendered something like:
(:title some title:)Some heading
Curious to hear your thoughts?
