Hardwrapping does not seem to be working correctly

[COCAGC]

See http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#p

The following text:

Here is some text that should be hardwrapped by Markdown, so 
even though, starting at the word "even" this should not actually start its own line unless 2 spaces  
are added at the end of the line

Should look like this on the output

<p>Here is some text that should be hardwrapped by Markdown, so  
even though, starting at the word "even" this should not actually start its own line unless 2 spaces <br />  
are added at the end of the line</p>

written like

//Here is some text that should be hardwrapped by Markdown, so 
//even though, starting at the word "even" this should not actually start its own line unless 2 spaces  
//are added at the end of the line

in the javascript the litjs output is:

<p>Here is some text that should be hardwrapped by Markdown, so <br />even though, starting at the word &quot;even&quot; this should not actually start its own line unless 2 spaces <br /><br />are added at the end of the line</p>

Notice the <br/> tag after so and before even. I also notice 2 <br /> tags after the word spaces

This can tend to make the output look very messy.
