Expected result

There should be the same amount of vertical space between any text block and a subsequent heading. (Preferably more than a single line.)

Apparently this affects callouts too but I haven’t tested it myself. Discord

Actual result

There is less space between a block quote and a subsequent heading (1 line) than between a paragraph or list and a subsequent heading.
