I recently switched my website to include <br>
tags instead of newlines for my notes. This means I now have HTML markup like
Hello<br><br>World
It appears that when Granary is converting this to JSON Feed (haven't checked other formats), it is stripping the tags completely instead of converting them to whitespace, so the example above would appear as HelloWorld
in the JSON Feed.
This then causes a problem when comparing the text value to the HTML value, and Granary thinks they are different so it creates a title
for the note. Then my posts appear smushed in Micro.blog.
I think Granary should recognize that a
tag is meaningful and replace that with a newline so that the plaintext conversion works properly.
