Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate adds blank line above Heading 1 text in Text Web Parts

[ericpskl]

Summary of issue:

When creating or updating a SharePoint Online page using Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate, an extra line of whitespace is added above "Heading 1" text.

Version:

Get-InstalledModule -Name PnP.Powershell

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new Modern page in SharePoint online. Add a single Text web part, with one line of text formatted as Heading 1.

Export this page to XML: Export-PnPPage -Identity Test-Page-12345.aspx -Out Test-Page-12345.xml -Force

Inspect the XML template and confirm that there is no extra blank line present in the webpart's XML:

<pnp:CanvasControlProperty Key="Text" Value="&lt;h2&gt;There is no whitespace before this sentence (Heading 1)&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;" />

Apply the XML as a template (this will overwrite the page): Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path .\Test-Page-12345.xml

Load the page and observe that a blank line has been inserted above the "Heading 1" formatted text. (It is easier to see the extra space by going into Edit mode on the page)

Any suggestions appreciated!

Known bug that I need to fix. All text are wrapped in a P element when being added via the API, but when there a H then that's not needed. The extra P causes the line break you see I think
