Hello!

Double spaces and double line breakes are usually disabled in the  
RedCloth. Is it possible to disable to somehow? I have googled on the  
official website but unfortunately have not found anything useful.

Small explanation about reasons of this question. For example, I have  
text with filled line, several empty lines and another one line with  
information. RedCloth will trim all empty lines by default and it is  
not good for me. The same situation is with the several spaces in  
text. Is there any way to leave initial number of spaces and line  
breakes?

Thanks
