Sounds like your markdown interpreter has an issue, or you're leaving lots of white space at the end of your lines.

Generally, in markdown, if you insert a line break, it won't translate to an explicit line break unless you put two in a row, or if there is 2+ spaces at the end of the line.

See [1] for an illustration

Either behavior is allowed by the CommonMark spec, in fact.
