blank lines get removed

blank lines get removed

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.

Try pandoc -f docx+empty_paragraphs

See manual under empty_paragraphs extension.
