Mac/Firefox Crossword Scraper Version: 1.2.5 Last Updated: January 30, 2022

In puz format, italicized items are converted to quoted with old-fashioned quotes those clues then have a blank double return after them. 14-Across, 9-Down, 20-Down, 28-Down, 37-Down, 58-Down (see scan of physical printout from puz file)

Notice items that were quoted with fancy quotes, do not have the problem 8-Down

(I had to zip the puz, because Github wouldn't accept puz extension files.)

The raw data includes these newlines. This is one of the original clues:

<i>Working Girl</i><span> star Griffith\n\n</span>

I guess the applet is trimming them. We can probably do the same, although there could be some edge cases here (maybe newlines in the middle of a clue are legitimate?)

Will be fixed in the next release - thanks for the report!
