ktfmt

Ktfmt erroneously removes some blank lines from KDoc (Markdown) comments. This behavior is inconsistent with: How ktfmt treats kotlin code (preserve up to one consecutive blank line) How other markdown formatters treat markdown (KDoc is essentially Markdown with javadoc-like tags) For example, I have a KDoc comment with some inline Markdown to denote a blockquote: This gets collapsed by ktfmt to It seems ktfmt collapses other bits of inline markdown too, harming readability. For example: json {"code": "block"} is collapsed to json {"code": "block"} Note that in addition to removing whitespace, the two separate bulleted lists were combined into one, _changing the HTML rendering of the documentation comment_.
