+This paragraph has enough text to auto-wrap when QTextMarkdownWriter writes it
+to a markdown file. The wrapping should be around 80 columns.
+
+This paragrah has been broken up into shorter lines.
+Each line break is created
+by hitting shift-enter in QTextEdit.
+But it's treated as one QTextBlock.
+
+This paragraph also has short lines.
Each ends with a Unicode LineSeparator.
