New line / end of line characters in descriptions

lhbandit wrote 9 years ago: 1

I'm noticing many series have new line/line feed characters (\n or character code 10) scattered randomly in the show descriptions. You seem to strip them out from the frontend and I am stripping them out of the api response in my app but just wanted to let you know about them in case you weren't aware.

The only reason I'm mentioning it is it seems unintentional and weird to have HTML and new lines intermixed. If they were intentional I would expect to see them as <br/>'s.

Here are just a couple examples:

Thanks for the report! I'm aware there are formatting quirks in the descriptions every now and then, it's caused by our HTML editor sometimes supplying weird input. It's on my list to verify if the new version fixes the problem, if yes I'll make sure to clean up the existing content afterwards.
