commas are rendered in a strange way

[dietmar-calmbach-mpf]

hi kindly developers,

first of all thank you for developing this great plugin.

I have the problem that if in the description or the summary (maybe somewhere else too) of an event is a comma, the output of the comma is rendered as \,

e.g.

def test() {
        renderCalendar {
            calendar {
                events {
                    event(start: Date.parse('dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm', '01.11.2009 14:00'),
                    end: Date.parse('dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm', '01.11.2009 15:00'),
                    description: 'hell, yes',
                    summary: 'Short, info2',
                    location: '@home',
                    classification: 'private'){
                        organizer(name: 'Silvio Wangler', email: 'b.c@d.com')
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

is rendered as

Is this a bug or is there a way to get over it?

Kind regards Dietmar

Hi Dietmar

Thanks for reporting that issue.

What version of the plugin do you use?

To me it looks like that commata are escaped by ical4j using the two backslashes \\,. Can you explain what problem this causes? Is that \\, displayed in an calendar app like Outlook?

[dietmar-calmbach-mpf]

Hi Silvio, i'm using the version 0.6.2 this is the latest i think

BTW the output shows only one Backslash followed by a comma, i used two backslahes because one was escaped by github.

The backslahes are shown in any calendar app like outlook and google, and on commandline output with curl as well.

i just checked the spec RFC5545, this seems to be a requirement, so you can close this issue.
