Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported line-break behavior in the MarkdownPreview component using the source example. Trace how its markdown rendering handles a single newline, then verify that the rendered output preserves the break between “Hello.” and “World”.

Description

Hi guys.

Thank you for your time to develop this awesome library.

I'm recently figure out that the line break in markdown is not rendered correctly. Example:

<MarkdownPreview
   source={`
Hello.
World

    `}
        style={{ padding: 16 }}
      />

will render

Hello. World

instead of

Hello. 
World

Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks
