Strong delimiter rendered on a newline in certain situations

[maxcountryman]

I'm running into a situation where the strong delimiter, e.g. **, is appearing on a newline. This happens when the converted HTML looks something like this:

<strong><br>Strong Text<br></strong>

The visual intention is for Strong Text to be bolded and indeed this works in HTML. However, after converting, the Markdown does not respect this intention.
