This plugin will try to convert line breaks inside paragraphs(p tag) into html <br>
tags.
How to install
Add the following configuration into your book.json file.
{
"plugins": ["lb2br"]
}
Type gitbook install
to install this plugin
Use gitbook pdf path_to_your_book mybook.pdf
to generate a pdf book.
How it works
Take the following 2 sentences for example:
this is line one
this is line two.
These 2 lines will be put into 2 lines in github issues page(as well as in MWeb editor). The converted html code will be
this is line onethis is line two.
However, gitbook uses standard markdown syntax, these two lines will be put into one line. The converted html code in gitbook will be
this is line onethis is line two.
In order to separate them into 2 lines, you either add 2 spaces at the end of the first line or you add a blank row between the 2 lines. This is quite inconvenient.
This plugin will convert line breaks inside p tags into html <br>
tag, the same as github issues page does.
Issues
I don't know how to enable plugins in gitbook editor, such that i can preview the results directly in gitbook editor. If you know, please raise an issue :) Thanks.
