Line of text w/o line break wraps with span instead of P

See original GitHub issue

Having an issue where a string of text within the Markdown component that does not contain a line break gets wrapped with a  tag instead of what I would expect a  tag.

I took some screen shots highlighting the text from your demo site, you’ll notice the one with the line break produces a P tag, the other does not.

I would expect that any string, even if it doesn’t contain a line break would be wrapped in a P tag unless a markdown or html modifier is supplied. I believe this is how Markdown is supposed to behave.

Yeah, totally get why you did that, but it is kind of unintuitive and doesn’t behave as you would expect. I’m going to close this as the option seems to have fixed my issue (RTFD!).

Thanks again!
