+//! Blank lines are a construct that occurs in the flow content type.
+//!
+//! They’re formed with the following BNF:
+//!
+//! ```bnf
+//! blank_line ::= *(' ' '\t')
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Blank lines are sometimes needed, such as to differentiate a paragraph
+//! from another paragraph.
+//! In several cases, blank lines are not needed between flow constructs,
+//! such as between two headings.
+//! Sometimes, whether blank lines are present, changes the behavior of how
+//! HTML is rendered, such as whether blank lines are present between list
+//! items in a list.
+//! More than one blank line is never needed in `CommonMark`.
+//!
+//! Because blank lines can be empty (line endings are not considered part of
+//! it), and events cannot be empty, blank lines are not present as a token.
+//!
