This is a general issue, adding one newline doesn't work well with appending
multiple definitions.  For appending n definitions, (n - 1) lines need manual
addition:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
a
b
c
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

By adding two newlines, only one line needs manual deletion:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
a

b

c

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
