title: Preserve Line Breaks in Pandoc Markdown -> LaTeX Conversion
body: <p>I want to convert the following <code>*.md</code> converted into proper LaTeX <code>*.tex</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Lorem *ipsum* something.
  Does anyone know lorem by heart?
  
  That would *sad* because there's always Google.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Expected Behavior / Resulting LaTeX from Pandoc</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>Lorem \emph{ipsum} something.
  Does anyone know lorem by heart?
  
  That would \emph{sad} because there's always Google.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Observed Behavior / Resulting LaTeX from Pandoc</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>Lorem \emph{ipsum} something. Does anyone know lorem by heart?
  
  That would \emph{sad} because there's always Google.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why do I <strong>care</strong>?
   1. I'm transitioning a bigger git repo from markdown to LaTeX, and I want a clean diff and history.
   2. I actually like my LaTeX with one sentence-per-line even though it does not matter for the typesetting.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get Pandoc to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Ps.: I am aware of the option <code>hard_line_breaks</code>, but that only adds <code>\\</code> between the two first lines, and does not actually preserve my line breaks.</p>
