Add "HARD_WRAP" option

[inwardmovement]

Is it possible to add an HARD_WRAP option like in kramdown, to parse markdown file's new lines into html line breaks?

[kivikakk]

You're in luck, it's already an option! If you specify this in _config.yml:

commonmark:
  options: ["HARDBREAKS"]

you should get the desired result. :)

Oh great! I didn't see it in the docs I searched in. When trying to install the commonmark-ghpages gem (I switched back to kramdown before) I have a message telling me to upgrade rubygems, I did so and now I can't run "bundle exec" anymore, can't build Jekyll... so I have to fix this before trying the HARDBREAKS option.

I must recognize I'm a bit sick of the ruby/gems ecosystem (there are often problems of this kind), I'll have to give Hugo a try haha.

I've got a CommonMark: HARDBREAKS is not a valid option error

Ah, this is a bug in https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-commonmark which has been fixed … but there's not been a new version released since.

You should be able to pull the new release directly by adding the following to your Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-commonmark", "1.1.0.1", :git => "https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-commonmark.git"

Once done, update your bundle and this should work.

And yeah, frankly, I'm not a huge fan of the gem ecosystem either.

So after reinstalling/updating all my gems I find myself with a new problem:

This time a gem/bundler problem I think, aaarg... I could spend hours to try to fix this as usual, but I am moving my blog to Hugo, seems more maintainable/consistent with a simple binary, in the long run it would be more profitable. Anyways thanks for your help @kivikakk :)

No problems, I'm sorry the issues have been so many!

[inwardmovement]

I don't think I will use Jekyll, but I managed to fix my ruby/gem tools (I'm quite stubborn to fix something that doesn't work even if I switched to something else haha).
Do you know why I have this error?

Have you tried making the Gemfile adjustment per above? Could you show me the contents of your Gemfile.lock file? This should only be the case with an older version of jekyll-commonmark.

The Gemfile adjustment did it, thanks!
