bsPopover can't handle line breaks #47

Open moorepants opened 9 years ago

moorepants commented 9 years ago

This fails to render in my app:

bsPopover(content='abc\n')

whereas this does:

bsPopover(content='abc')

add a < br > (minus the spaces...) instead of \n in your string

First, thanks for this great package and for your work to get it up and running again after major breaking changes upstream from you.

Unfortunately, I need to expand the scope of this issue. I too ran into the problem mentioned above, but it is slightly more complex than just not rendering "\n". Not a major problem once I figured out why things weren't working, but I wasted some time getting things working.

It seems popovers and tooltips will fail silently with actual line breaks in the string content in the source code, even when not rendered. This is hard to show here, but for example, if my source code looks something like:

    bsPopover( 'id', title='Title', content="<p>Paragraph 1</p><p>Paragraph 2</p>" )

it works, but if it looks like

    bsPopover( 'if', title='Title', content="<p>Paragraph 1</p>
                                             <p>Paragraph 2</p>" )

with any real line break inside the quoted string, nothing will show. It also might be that all following popovers will fail to show after one breaks due to this. I am using shinyBS 0.61 and working on a mac in Rstudio, in case that matters.

Thanks again!

Yes, thanks for this great package! I just would like to add to the above comment that I observed the same behaviour, on R 4.1.2, shinyBS version 0.61, Windows. With coding line breaks in content="" nothing is shown ...
