The post editor loves blank lines so much, it puts them on everything

Andrew is a stand-up guy. He wouldn't be this sloppy when posting, but it's not his fault.

Whenever someone inserts a "Code" block, in order to get syntax highlighting. Any subsequent edit of the post adds an extra blank line above and below the block. It doesn't matter if you erase them when you edit. They can only grow,

like the mythical hydra. The only solution is to remove the code nlock entirely, delete all the blank lines and save the post. Then edit it again, and re-insert the code-block. Then, you must never-ever-ever edit that post again, or you'll have to go through it all over.

 

Come on ST. 2024. AI. 32TOPS in every phone within 5 years. Can we fix the editor please???
