CJK Line Breaks

[fangyi-zhou]

Description

Input:

一
二
三
四
五

Expected Output:

<p>一二三四五</p>

Actual Output:

<p>一
二
三
四
五</p>

Why is this an issue?

We usually don't have spaces in CJK characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters), unlike English and a bunch of other languages. If line breaks are preserved, it will render as a space in HTML, which is unnatural.

If anyone would like to give some pointers to code changes, I can submit a PR

Thanks for bringing this up - you will probably need to adapt Kramdown::Converter::HTML#convert_text for this to work.
