PScribo Table doesn't handle newlines.

[vzabawski]

I was trying to create a page with a table that contains newlines in its cells. Here's an example code:

Import-Module -Name PScribo -Force
$ItemsArray = @()
$Item1 = [PSCustomObject] @{
    Name = 'Sample text';
    Description = "String1`nString2`nString3";
}
$Item2 = [PSCustomObject] @{
    Name = 'Another sample text';
    Description = "String1`nString2`nString3";
}
$ItemsArray += $Item1
$ItemsArray += $Item2

Document Example {
    Table -Name "Example table" -InputObject $ItemsArray -Columns Name, Description
} | Export-Document -Path C:\Windows\Temp -Format html

Result:

I've tried a workaround from this issue but it didn't worked.

Result:

Hi @vzabawski Internally the HTML plugin converts using the [System.Environment]::NewLine enum for compatibility with both Windows and Linux. Therefore, on a Windows box you should use `r`n like so:

Import-Module -Name PScribo -Force
$ItemsArray = @()
$Item1 = [PSCustomObject] @{
    Name = 'Sample text';
    Description = "String1`r`nString2`r`nString3";
}
$Item2 = [PSCustomObject] @{
    Name = 'Another sample text';
    Description = "String1`r`nString2`r`nString3";
}
$ItemsArray += $Item1
$ItemsArray += $Item2

Document Example {
    Table -Name "Example table" -InputObject $ItemsArray -Columns Name, Description
} | Export-Document -Path C:\Windows\Temp -Format html

Thank you very much. It worked for me.
