<p>OK, so based on discussions with <a href="https://fmrl.me/habi">@habi@fmrl.me</a> and <a href="https://pump.saz.im/sazius">@sazius</a>, the trick now to building Pumpa on Mac OS X (in addition to the steps already listed on <a href="https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/wiki/HowTo-for-building-Pumpa-on-OS-X">https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/wiki/HowTo-for-building-Pumpa-on-OS-X</a>) are:</p>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="list-style: none"><br /></li>
<li>brew install homebrew/dupes/tidy</li>
<li style="list-style: none"><br /></li>
<li>brew install aspell</li>
<li style="list-style: none"><br /></li>
<li>Set the following environment variable (e.g. in .bashrc or .profile): export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/</li>
<li style="list-style: none"><br /></li>
</ul>
OK, this has to do with entering raw HTML in non-Markdown mode. This mode converts all newlines to <br>'s, but this of course breaks more complex HTML.

OK, commit 162e76f is a hack that disables the newlines-to-breaks conversion if it detects "more advanced" HTML tags.
