Segment split conversion

In Chinese / Japanese sentences, if you do a line feed, it will be a one-byte space, but you can delete this space.

import markdown

md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=["markdown_cjk_spacing.cjk_spacing"],
    extension_configs={'markdown_cjk_spacing.cjk_spacing':
            {'segment_break': True}})
md.convert("markdown text")
