Line break not working

[eric-wieser]

The following:

This is a  
line break

Is not being correctly output as

This is a
line break

Instead, two line breaks are inserted. See http://jsfiddle.net/bgwDK/

Github is behaving incorrectly as well. From the Markdown Documentation

When you do want to insert a
break tag using Markdown, you end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.

Your code is inserting <br></br> when it should be inserting <br />

i solved it for myself a little dirty, maybe a hint for someone else:

1314: // be careful about adding whitespace here for inline elements
1315: if(tag == "br")
1316:   return "<"+ tag + tag_attrs + "/>";
1317: else
1318:   return "<"+ tag + tag_attrs + ">" + content.join( "" ) + "</" + tag + ">";

I've observed this problem as well and fixed it with a patch similar to franzwilding's
