Spacing / newlines in XML not coming through #148

Closed n-a-t-e closed 2 years ago

n-a-t-e commented 2 years ago

I wonder if theres anything that can be done to make spacing in text come through from XML files to CKAN.

Here's an example of an XML with spacing in the abstract, that all gets clumped together when displayed in CKAN:

abstract supports markdown in ckan it that helps? If not then I could look into replacing spaces with appropreit markdown or something during harvest.

A follow-up question is, for your example, how should it look? The xml file also seems to be one block of text when I look at it in the browser.

I also noticed this browser issue (both in chrome and firefox). Seems that you have to look at the XML file in a text editor to see how it's really formatted.

So it looks like to get a newline in markdown you need two spaces and a newline, or two newlines would work too. https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#line-breaks

interestingly it appears that some of the formatting is making it into ckan however the multiple new lines are being striped and replaced by a single new line.

updating production code and reharvesting seems to have fixed the issue.

I think this issues is fixed. please reopen if it is not.
