Formatting of newlines in gitbook

Inizia esaminando i file markdown dei pattern e la pagina renderizzata da GitBook descritta nell’issue per confermare come vengono gestiti i singoli caratteri di nuova riga. Identifica se la correzione riguarda il contenuto markdown o la configurazione di GitBook, quindi verifica che i pattern renderizzati non mostrino più interruzioni di riga indesiderate, preservando i paragrafi previsti.

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.
