Having a <br> at the end of the line adds an emptly line if followed by a crlf

Steps to reproduce

a line of markdown text ending with<br>
and this is the beginning of a new line.

is rendered as:

a line of markdown text ending with
    <-- empty line here!
and this is the beginning of a new line.
only if I keep the scond line on the same line after the <br>second line is rendered correctly

on rendering I get my expected:

only if I keep the scond line at the same line after the 
second line is rendered correctly

ah, and also <br/> doesn’t work at all … only <br> works, which is also an error(?) I’d think!?


Additional information

I know that obsidian renders its markdown “a little bit different” than other markdown engines.

But having written a lot of markdown in my life (and do copy markdown into obsidian from other sources a lot)

this is kind of one of the only things that really bothers me.

I’d love to have obsidian “eatup/cutoff” RE: <br/?>[[:space]]*\r?\n$ on rendering and replace it with a single \r?\n, which would get us rid of the empty lines.
