Fair points. I have an idea how to be picky in the current context and will explore that when I get to this issue. It sounds like you want the freedom to define a break as “* * *” and have that exclusively enforced.

Unrelated, I don’t think it’s fair to blame markdown-it for any problems related to this project. I’m (ab)using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended to support. 😃

Ugh, I “improved” this rule by relying more on the parser to identify syntax, but it seems to be normalizing and that leads to this problem.
