And then you still can't quote a poem without double line spacing, because blank lines are paragraphs, and line breaks are ignored. The HN markup is really lacking.

Markdown provides for this by double-spacing at the end of a line to indicate a hard wrap.
That's genius, and would be such a neat addition to HN.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.When the lines are short, that works, but when lines are longer, mobile users complain.
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
And when using it for code and only code, as per "official instructions", you can't.
