Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomboy
When typing a note in tomboy you hit enter at the end of paragraphs like
in any text editor. Line-breaks are stored as carriage returns.
When you do Export to HTML, line-breaks are exported similarly as
carriage returns. This is improper HTML syntax I think. It should
delineate line-breaks with </p><p> or <br>.
The issue this causes is that although some renderers (firefox for one)
have a quirk where they will happen interpret the carriage return as a
line-break, this is not standard.
The standard is that all white spaces, including carriage return, are
collapsed into one white space. So if you attempt to open the HTML file
in other renderers like Openoffice, the line breaks are all collapsed
into a huge unreadable wall of text. Except for bullet points which are
explicitly coded as <li> items and get their own lines.
This is not a glitch in openoffice rendering, it is a glitch in tomboy
exporting. To properly Export to HTML, proper markup must be inserted
to represent line breaks.
Tomboy: v1.0.0
Export to HTML: v0.1
Ubuntu: v9.10
