What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Invoke rfc2kindle/rfc2mobi to convert any RFC that would result in a
<blockquote> tag being created in its HTML output.
2. View the resulting .mobi output.
3. Newlines in text inside <blockquote> tags are missing.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Using an example from RFC 4462...
Here's the raw the RFC text:
byte SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST
string user name
string service
string "gssapi-keyex"
string MIC
Here's the HTML that rfc2mobi generates:
<blockquote>
byte SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST
string user name (in ISO-10646 UTF-8 encoding)
string service name (in US-ASCII)
string "gssapi-with-mic" (US-ASCII method name)
uint32 n, the number of mechanism OIDs client supports
string[n] mechanism OIDs
</blockquote>
In the .mobi file, newlines are not preserved, so that text looks like:
byte SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST string user name (in ISO-10646 UTF-8 encoding) string service name (in US-ASCII) string "gssapi-with-mic" (US-ASCII method name) uint32 n, the number of mechanism OIDs client supports string[n] mechanism OIDs
But I would expect it to look like:
byte SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST
string user name (in ISO-10646 UTF-8 encoding)
string service name (in US-ASCII)
string "gssapi-with-mic" (US-ASCII method name)
uint32 n, the number of mechanism OIDs client supports
string[n] mechanism OIDs
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
(same as in Issue 1 and Issue 2)
Please provide any additional information below.
Here's a simple fix, with code. When generating a <blockquote> tag, just
replace newlines with <br /> tags. I tested this and it works:
In html.py, inside of outputTextBlock(self), replace:
self.output.write("%s\n" %(i))
with:
self.output.write("%s<br/>" %(i))
Other possible fixes:
1. Use the <pre> tag instead of using <blockquote>. The output is not as pretty
(in my opinion) because spaces are preserved, but it works. Removing extra
spaces and using <pre> would look better.
2. Create a figure instead of using <blockquote>. I have not tested this but it
would probably not look as nice as (1).
