Beschreibung
It appears that either pulldown-cmark or pulldown-cmark-to-cmark itself silently shrinks any number of consecutive empty lines into a single empty line, and also strips trailing whitespace. For example, for this file test.md
a
b
When I run cargo run --example stupicat test.md I get
a
b
I see that in Options there are a number of tweaks to select the number of empty lines after a bunch of elements, but there is no option to preserve empty lines exactly as it was in the source document. (More generally I sought to preserve trailing whitespace after the end of each line as well: after the "a" above there are some spaces, but they are stripped in the output)
How easy would it be to workaround this? I mean, is this a limitation of pulldown-cmark itself (like, it throws away this information and there is no way to recover it), or just a missing feature in pulldown-cmark-to-cmark?
