Should wholeText() introduce newlines between block elements?

[h920526]

Hi team,

Jsoup v1.16.1

<div><p>Hello</p><p>World</p></div>

after calling wholeText()

expected:
Hello
World

but actual:
HelloWorld

does not wrap with new line
thanks

This is "as designed" currently - wholeText gets only the non-normalized text values from the elements.

I have considered changing it to emit a newline when encountering a new block tag as that seems more useful.

text() will give you normalized text with a (space, not newline) between the nodes. That's designed for e.g. indexing / searching / extracting.

Would be good to hear opinions from folks on this. It seems safe and information preserving.
