Description

Uploading a file inserts [...](...)\n\n where the cursor is -- with no proceeding whitespace. We should match the web behaviour of adding a newline before (if it's not at the start of a line already) and one one trailing newline.

CZO discussion.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the file upload insertion code and add logic to prepend a newline if not at line start, and append a trailing newline.
