ipxact2rst can not handle xml with 
 characters for linefeed #42

When translating an .xml file to .rst file for an ;xml file containing the html encoding for linefeed the resulting ;rst file is not correct anymore for later translation to html via sphinx-build.

Example:

This is a test, trying to spread it out over several lines This should come on next line Output: :Description: This is a test, trying to spread it out over several lines This should come on next line

IMHO, adding formatting into the XML elements is not a good idea. It starts with line breaks, but continues with lists, paragraphs, links, ... And formatting these all into and C, VHDL, restructuredText and Markdown is out of the scope of this project. And Markdown (and even Restructured text) is not that good in formatting text inside a cell of a table.

I would vote to close this ticket with 'will not do, for now"

@vermaete, I agree about formatting in XML.
