fix(render): only render br as a trailing-space break if it round-trips - #535
context: this is one of a few fixes from round-tripping the Nuxt docs through parseMarkdown -> renderMarkdown.
docs/1.getting-started/10.data-fetching.md has:
::warning
Beware that using only `$fetch` will not provide [network calls de-duplication ...](...). :br
It is recommended to use `$fetch` for client-side interactions ...
::
which comes back as two paragraphs. br always renders as two trailing spaces plus a newline, and the text after it already starts with \n, so the output has a blank line.
this keeps \n where it round-trips, so Hello \nWorld is unchanged, and otherwise writes :br, or <br> when the previous character can't start an inline component.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Line breaks are now represented more appropriately in Markdown and COMARK output, including explicit :br directives where needed.
Round-trip parsing now preserves line-break structure in cases involving words, components, inline code, and consecutive breaks.
Documentation
Added an inline-component example with warning content, line breaks, and inline code.
Updated a no-content directive example to use an explicit line-break directive.

Walkthrough
The br stringifier now chooses between a Markdown hard break, :br, and <br> based on node context and output format. New round-trip tests and specification examples cover line breaks in inline contexts.
Changes: Break serialization
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Break output and round-trip coverage packages/comark/src/internal/stringify/handlers/br.ts, packages/comark/test/roundtrip-safety.test.ts
The br handler selects output based on node position, adjacent nodes, whitespace, and format. Round-trip tests cover breaks before words, after components and inline code, and between consecutive breaks.
Break examples and bundle snapshot packages/comark/SPEC/COMARK/inline-component-br.md, packages/comark/SPEC/markdown-directive/directive-no-content.md, test/bundle.test.ts
The specification examples show inline-component breaks and use :br instead of a whitespace-only line. The published-size snapshot changes from 398k to 399k; the expected file count remains 158.
comarkdown/com#525: The issue concerns saved Markdown that splits or loses paragraph structure around a br case. This PR changes br serialization to preserve round trips and avoid an extra paragraph.

Rendering and reparsing can lose links or add visible text in these cases. Fix the break delimiters before merging.

Avoid a literal delimiter after $.
For ['p', {}, 'a$', ['br', {}], ['br', {}], ' word'], this emits a${}:br.... The attributes parser skips {} after $, so reparsing adds {} to the text. Use a delimiter that remains nonliteral after $, and cover this case in the round-trip tests. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

31:
Update the `open` delimiter selection in the `<br>` handler so consecutive
breaks after text ending in `$` do not emit a literal delimiter that the
attributes parser consumes as `{}`; use a delimiter that remains nonliteral in
this context. Add a round-trip test for the provided input and verify reparsing
does not add `{}` to the text.

Delimit breaks before following elements.
For ['p', {}, 'a ', ['br', {}], ['a', { href: '/url' }, 'x']], this emits a :br[x](/url). The component parser consumes [x] as the break’s content, so the link is lost on reparse. Delimit the break before following elements as well as following strings. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

32:
Update the break-handler logic around `COMPONENT_NAME_CHAR.test(next)` so it
also delimits a break when the next node is an element, not only when it is a
string. Preserve the existing string behavior and ensure the emitted markup
keeps a following link separate from the break when reparsed.
