Multiline strings

[icanzilb]

I see that swift-markdown is getting confused by multiline strings. Maybe a good idea is to encode newlines as \n?

Can you elaborate? Is it the """...""" notation?

Oh no, you are right — this issue is very vague (I was doing other stuff and got sloppy, my bad).

Multiline strings in markdown tables seem to trip swift-markdown when parsing the text. I didn't dive deep to debug what exactly is happening but trying to (simply) continue the text on the next line doesn't seem to work. Using a "\n" in the text also didn't seem to be on the right side of swift-markdown.

Ah, cell contents you mean -- yeah, multiline cells aren't possible in any Markdown table implementation I tried.

You basically would need to custom encode/decode string cells IIRC to replace a line break character or character sequence. (In TableFlip I santiize user input by replacing line breaks with single spaces, for example.)

Markdown is the wrong format for this purpose, even though HTML can deal with complex cells just fine.
