+/* Render soft line breaks (Shift+Enter -> a bare `\n` inside a block) the way
+   the editor does (`.mu-content` is pre-wrap) instead of emitting a
+   non-standard `<br>`, so exported HTML stays CommonMark-conformant while still
+   showing the break (#3676).
+
+   `li:not(:has(> p))` targets only tight list items, whose soft break is a
+   bare `\n` directly inside the `<li>`. Loose items wrap their content in
+   `<p>` (handled by the `p` rule); giving them `li` pre-wrap would expose
+   marked's pretty-printing newline between `</p>` and `</li>` as a stray blank
+   line, so they are deliberately excluded. */
