The gemtext renderer prints a bare => line for a paragraph holding nothing but
links, which is what lets a generator emit a navigable menu. is_only_links
tolerated soft breaks but not hard ones, so a generator had to choose: soft
breaks and a clean gemtext menu, or hard breaks and a menu that does not run
together on the formats that lay a paragraph out inline.
That was a false choice. A hard break between links is still a run of nothing
but links, and the inline formats already turn it into <br/>. Without this,
asking for the break made gemtext read the paragraph as prose and print its
flattened text alongside the => lines, listing every entry twice.
Found serving a real capsule: six area links rendered as one run-on line in a
browser and on a handset while gemtext looked perfect.
