I'm a Chinese CoffeeScript user. It confused me a lot the line breaks disappeared in most Markdown implementations. It confused me that Github, StackOverflow, Gist, ReadTheDocs are all not friendly to line breaks. Well, I want to keep wikis so that people may benefit.. But all platforms do bad on this issue.

There are some [demos here on my blog][blog] that show how text could be tidy and beautiful with many line breaks in Chinese. And there's [a place][coffee] people always use line breaks to keep good readability.
