Description
Currently it reads: Converts newlines into <p> and <br /> tags.
It should be something more like: Converts newlines to <br /> tags and wraps the resulting string in a <p> tag.
Note: the docstring of this filter's Python function is also vague and also should be changed.

Replying to SmileyChris:
It doesn't just wrap the whole string in one <p>, it breaks multi-newlines into <p>s
Now that was a case that I did not try. Good thing we are fixing the documentation :)
How about we stick an example in there.

I think the wording could still be improved, and I forgot to change the docstring.

Added a patch with hopefully clearer documentation for both linebreaks
and linebreaksbr
, as well as updated docstrings to match.

Your suggestion is no more clearer. It doesn't just wrap the whole string in one <p>, it breaks multi-newlines into <p>s
