Cannot make soft_break work

[pherrymason]

I'm trying to make this text to add a <br> line just before the soft break sentence, but I have no luck with that.

This is the text I'm trying to convert:

This is markdown
-----------------
**bold** *and italics* text
soft break

- one
- two
- three 
- four

I've tried using the default options and both forcing it:

$converter = new CommonMarkConverter();
return $converter->convertToHtml($html);

It gets converted to this:

<h2>This is markdown</h2>
<p><strong>bold</strong> <em>and italics</em> text
soft break</p>
<ul>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
<li>four</li>
</ul>

Maybe I didn't understand properly the meaning of soft_break?

Per the CommonMark spec, soft breaks do not render as <br> tags by default.

This library does have a configuration option you can change to '<br>' to get that functionality: https://commonmark.thephpleague.com/configuration/

Try making using this instead:

$converter = new CommonMarkConverter([
    'renderer' => [
        'soft_break' => '<br>',
    ]
]);
return $converter->convertToHtml($html);

Thanks!
