Force new line characters

[matt3o]

Hey guys :)

Converting this text

**Kaufvertrag für ein Auto**

**Zwischen:**

**Verkäufer**  
Name: ___________________________  
Adresse: _________________________  
Telefonnummer: ___________________

yields

Kaufvertrag für ein Auto
Zwischen:
Verkäufer
Name: ___________________________
Adresse: _________________________
Telefonnummer: ___________________

But instead I would have wanted

Kaufvertrag für ein Auto

Zwischen:

Verkäufer
Name: ___________________________
Adresse: _________________________
Telefonnummer: ___________________

Is there any way to force that during the conversion process? I looked through the other issues but did not find any good tips on how to achieve that.

Thanks a lot in advance! Matthias

Hello, thanks for reporting this issue.

Can you take a look at this PR and see if it did solve your issue? https://github.com/TarekkMA/markdown_quill/pull/35

Sadly that does not change anything. I switch from 4.2.0 to the master branch of this github repo and nothing changed. Might be a regression bug as it looks way better on both flutter markdown conversion pages you linked previously.

Just to visualize the problem: Local output of the flutter app:

This the code, maybe I call it incorrectly?

This doesn't appear to be a regression since no tests failed.

I'll investigate this issue when I have availability. In the meantime, feel free to submit a PR if you find a solution for the issue.

Regarding the markdown testing tools:

• https://tarekkma.github.io/markdown_quill_playground/ uses the flutter_markdown package
• https://dart-lang.github.io/markdown demonstrates the pure dart html markdown implementation

These tools can help identify any differences (if found) in markdown handling between the two implementations.

[matt3o]

Which version is https://tarekkma.github.io/markdown_quill_playground/ actually runing on? Because there it appears to work. Might help for debugging the issue :)

[TarekkMA]

It doesn't use markdown_quill, it's just using flutter_markdown and converting it to widgets. information about it can be found here https://github.com/TarekkMA/markdown_quill_playground

@TarekkMA https://github.com/TarekkMA/markdown_quill/pull/37 fixes it for me - it does however break the tests. Would be cool, if you could look into that issue, many thanks!
