On Making Oneself Less Unreadable

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

  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

(these aren't very long I know, but it's not hard to imagine/find longer ones)

And when using it for code and only code, as per "official instructions", you can't.

Line 1 Line 2

> Line 1 > Line 2

I get it. I was showing that the double space doesn't happen between quoted lines.
