Subcontainers to not act as [br] breaks

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

When I add a subcontainer on a public article for content that only users with the right tag can see, it displays just fine to public users, formatting how I expect it to. Not showing the data to users without permission to see the information. But when I open the article as a user with access to the information in the subcontainer, the formatting acts as if the subcontainer is a break (br), which is not what I want it to do. If I want a break, I will add it in to the subcontainer.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

The request is simply to adjust the subcontainer to not act as a break. If there is concern about retroactively affecting formatting of people's articles, perhaps code the change so that pre-existing articles add the breaks into the subcontainers that already exist.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

I don't see other specific uses.

I want to copy "Those2Nerds'"s comment you can see below, as I think it was a great idea/suggestion/insight, and worth highlighting for the developers: "Subcontainers should continue acting like all other containers and create a <div> in the HTML. A better solution than changing this behavior would be to add a subsection that acts as a <span>. That would address the original request while staying in line with terminology and leaving existing articles unaffected."

    I agree, if we want it to break, we could then control it with our own BBC codes.

    I haven't tested it, but I suspect you can accomplish this already with some CSS.

    I would prefer Rin's suggestion. I really do feel it could break things for a lot of people to do it the way suggested. Otherwise, no objections.
