[SOLVED] Kirby: MarkdownExtra doesn't produce wanted paragraphes, renders line-breaks instead

Kirby: MarkdownExtra doesn't produce wanted paragraphes, renders line-breaks instead

I'm currently getting my head around http://getkirby.com and am very pleased to far. I activated Markdown Extra which comes shipped with Kirby so I can use Markdown within div-elements.

This works pretty well until the point where I need to create separate paragraphes of text, like so:

<div class="my-class" markdown="1">
    This is the first paragraph

    This is the second paragraph
</div>

Instead of rendering it like this:

<div class="my-class">
    <p>This is the first paragraph</p>

    <p>This is the second paragraph</p>
</div>

I get this result:

<div class="my-class">
    <p>This is the first paragraph<br />
    This is the second paragraph</p>
</div>

Is this wanted behavior I can control or is there something wrong with the parser?

Thanks for your help up front.
