Inconsistent handling of newlines in markdown in adaptive cards #4758

Open matthiasdilger opened 2 years ago

matthiasdilger commented 2 years ago

According to the documentation, \n\n should be used when adding a newline in markdown text in a TextBlock in an adaptive card.

Example card:

{
        "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
        "type": "AdaptiveCard",
        "version": "1.2",
        "body": [
         {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "<at>User</a> Your package will arrive on {{DATE(2017-02-14T06:00:00Z, SHORT)}} at {{TIME(2017-02-14T06:00:00Z)}}",
            "wrap": true
        },
          {            
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "**bold**\n\n_cursive_",
            "wrap": true             
          }
        ],
        "msteams": {
          "entities": userAboveMentioned,
          "width": "Full"
        }
      }

The bot sends this card with a mention to a group chat and the mentioned User opens client: Works fine on desktop and web, \n\n = 1 newline Android: \n\n = 2 newlines iOS: \n\n = 0 newlines, needs \r\n and the user mention completely breaks rendering the card (date function and markdown shown in raw text) (see https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/issues/4253)

The bot sends this card with a mention to a channel (creates a new conversation using adapter.createConversation): Desktop, web and Android: \n\n = 2 newlines iOS: \n\n = 0 newlines, needs \r\n and the user mention completely breaks rendering the card (date function and markdown shown in raw text) (see https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/issues/4253)

Solution: Please make \n\n work the same everywhere

Having the same issue. So far, \r\r will produce consistent line break across platform (iOS/Android/PC/Web), you can use that as a workaround.

@matthiasdilger - We were able to repro this issue. We have raised a bug for the same.

@Meghana-MSFT It works better now on desktop and web and also iOS has improved slightly but Android still has the issue of \n\n in markdown TextBlocks causing too many newlines. It would be great if this could be fixed.
