Since there weren't consistent rules for when to include newlines, I
decided to make an explicit tag (similar to HTML's <br /> tag). This can
have a dramatic impact on your existing code (unless it is just HTML).
The way the code was implemented before, each block of text was
generating a string which was then being added to a StringBuilder. This
only improved performance within a block itself. Needing to then copy
the results of that builder into the parent tag's builder was wasteful.
Now, a single TextWriter is used for all tags. If a block needs to be
processed after-the-fact, the tag can indicate that it wants to provide
a new text writer and that it wants to consolidate the text.
This is the first step towards supporting custom tags. There are
wrinkles I need to work out, since I'm not 100% sure what the finished
code will look like.
