feat: Leave empty line between NEWS entries

[krlmlr]

For some reason, this adds spurious newlines. @maelle: can you please take a look?

Moving forward, should we replace pandoc by something lighter-weight? We really only need to detect /^#+/ because we assume that nobody will write unindented code blocks or similar that contain this pattern. I'm willing to live with any limitations that will bring.

With pandoc, tests are running very slow too.

Let's keep pandoc for now, we might want to parse links or other markup later.

I think that the problem here is that paste_news_lines() sometimes receives a character vector where a bullet uses multiple entries. If each bullet point would correspond to exactly one entry in the character vector (with embedded newlines), the problem wouldn't occur.

[maelle]

this is a bit of a hack... sometimes there are new lines in the messages, but we've bulleted them previously so we can recognize items.

[krlmlr]

This seems challenging. What are we missing?

[krlmlr]

We still want the empty paragraphs here?

[maelle]

I wonder if we make some lines Markdown too early. We use Pandoc, get HTML, then we shouldn't go back to Markdown before the writing stage, this way we can differentiate line breaks and actual paragraphs.

[maelle]

I noticed that there should be a flexibility of main header level (are versions h1 and h2) but it is not respected for the scope of conventional commits.

I'll leave this aside for a while.

Also want to strip spaces at EOL as part of this.
