We use pandoc to support different file types.  This means we do not control the files people import.   When I import a docx file pandoc seems to remove the blank lines. For example if I have a docx file that has the following in it

This is a line.

This is a second line

This is a third line.

The two blank lines do not get represented if I output the native format.  Which makes me believe pandoc removes the blank lines. This is not good when trying to convert formatted documents.  Is there a option to pandoc that makes the blank lines not  be removed.
