TextExtracts renders both single and double line breaks in wikitext as "\n"
This is problematic because single line breaks in wikitext render in the browser as a space, while double line breaks in wikitext render in browser as a new line. To fix this problem, I would like for the API to recognize a single line break in the wikitext as a space rather than a newline.

wikicode:
False line break False line break False line break False line break False line break True line break True line break True line break True line break True line break
Plaintext returns:
False line break\nFalse line break\nFalse line break\nFalse line break\nFalse line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break"
Plaintext expected:
False line break False line break False line break False line break False line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break\nTrue line break"
