Formatting of newlines in gitbook

gitbook is the tool that we use to host https://patterns.innersourcecommons.org.

gitbook has (recently) changed the way that newline characters (\n) in our markdown files are rendered.

Previously a single newline character did not generate a line break.
That meant that we could format our pattern files like below to allow for easier line-based commenting when reviewing patterns.

There's a central project that everyone depends on.
What a great candidate for InnerSource!
Unfortunately, the project has grown organically, with various contributions and additions slapped on haphazardly.

Recently gitbook made change in this rendering logic. Now such text in markdown is rendered exactly as shown i.e. each newline in the markdown also leads to a line break in the rendered HTML. This does not look great. See screenshot below.

まず、pattern markdown ファイルと issue で説明されている GitBook でレンダリングされたページを確認し、単一の改行文字がどのように扱われるかを確かめます。修正が markdown の内容と GitBook の設定のどちらに属するのかを特定し、その後、レンダリングされた pattern に意図しない改行が表示されなくなり、意図した段落が維持されていることを確認します。
