I tried commenting on an answer, and all of my paragraphs were strung together in a single paragraph.

I used proper markdown, adding two spaces at the end of each paragraph. When that didn't work, I tried appending a <br/> to the end of my paragraphs, but that didn't work either! (In fact, the <br/> was rendered in my answer, instead of being interpreted as HTML.)

What was I doing wrong?

If it's relevant, my comment is can be found here: Can a Mac's model year be determined with a Terminal Command?
