I am copying markdown from previously written files into new posts.

Much of my writing in markdown takes advantage of  
the fact that md, like html, ignores linebreaks.  
I typically write one sentence or one clause per line,  
so that it is very easy to edit by  
moving lines around to rearrange a sentence structure  
or a paragraph.

Everywhere else,  
this results in paragraphs when rendered.  
Is there a way to  
turn off the automatic line breaks I’m getting in the ghost editor,  
so it doesn’t look like  
I’m trying to achieve some  
post-modernist poetry thing?
