:mrdocs:

Insert one or two newline characters into the specified `stream` stream such that a blank line results, depending on the specified `state`, and update the `state` accordingly. Return the `stream`. If the last output was a newline, then only one newline is added, otherwise two newlines are added. If following a call to `openElement`, or `addAttribute`, add a closing `>` to the opened tag.
