i have this writing style of
breaking stuff into lines.
i don’t do paragraphs.
i like it this way.

but that means i have to run this after i complete writing something:

:%s:$:  :g

that’s two spaces.
basically what it does is, add two spaces to the end of every line.

i think markdown requires either two spaces,
or a backslash,
or a <br>.

but today i came across this thing called hardwraps.

in your hugo.toml file, add this:

[markup]
  [markup.goldmark]
    [markup.goldmark.renderer]
          hardWraps = true

and no need of hacks anymore.
i could just write in obsidian and hit :w.
