GitLab's markdown newline behaviour

Created by: ruurdadema

I ran into a little problem regarding newline's.

Both GitHub Flavored Markdown & GitLab Flavored Markdown say they parse newlines with <br /> (or something like that). But in reality that is not the case.

Take for example this piece of markdown:

This is the first line
And this is a second line

The output of GitHub is:

This is the first line And this is a second line

But the output of GitLab is:

This is the first line
And this is a second line

If I use the {space}{space}{enter} syntax GitHub parses it correct in to a newline, but in GitLab the same two spaces results in to many newlines.

Is there a way to workaround this? All the (live) editors use the GitHub style and I use both GitHub & GitLab. So this difference is a little anoying. Is there a way to set my GitLab installation to the GitHub newline behaviour?

Thanks.
