Generators/Markdown: fix line break and indentation handling #737

Description

As things were, line breaks in a <standard> block were not respected for proper display in markdown.

As a side-effect of this, an indented text line in a <standard> block directly after a blank line, would unintentionally cause the markdown to display the line as a code block (via the indentation).

This has now been fixed by:

  • Trimming indentation off each line.
  • Adding two spaces to the end of each line as long as the line is not followed by a blank line or at the end of the standard block. The two spaces will ensure markdown will recognize the line break (in most markdown flavours).

Includes updated test expectations.

Suggested changelog entry

Generators/Markdown: line breaks in blocks will now be respected when generating the Markdown documentation.
This also prevents additional paragraphs from being displayed as code blocks.
