Description Niisse 2022-07-04 06:54:53 UTC

SUMMARY
***
If you have the option 'remove trailing spaces' on saving enabled, it interferes with markdown's double space for newline syntax.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 'remove trailing spaces' in settings enabled
2. Edit a .md file, insert double space at end of line
3. Save

OBSERVED RESULT
The trailing spaces are removed, thus changing the document's formatting.

EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice to have an exception for markdown files, as in any other situation I want this option enabled.

In open/save settings, modes&filetype you can set variables per file type.

Set there for markdown:

remove-trailing-spaces: none;

One should set this to default.
