Eep, I forgot about preserving newlines in <pre> blocks:
====
html_doc = """
<body>
<p>line 1</p>
<pre>line 2
line 3
line 4</pre>
<p>line 5</p>
</body>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(
print(f"
====
====
###line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5###
====
so if we want to preserve newlines inside block elements, we'll need to write a manual concatenation loop that considers the end of the previous string and the beginning of the next string. It's a solvable problem, we just need to decide what the desired behavior is, then implement it. My guess is to insert a newline between any two block strings where non-newline characters would come together.
