Line breaks are stripped from Fastlane descriptions

  • Device OS and version: Android 7.1.2
  • Device model/manufacturer: Google Nexus 6p
  • F-Droid version (in the About screen): 1.0-alpha0
  • F-Droid privileged extension version (if installed): Not installed

Privacy Browser is using the Fastlane folder structure to specify the description, changelogs, and graphics. full_description.txt contains several line breaks:

https://git.stoutner.com/?p=PrivacyBrowser.git;a=blob;f=fastlane/metadata/android/en/full_description.txt;

The text from full_description.txt is displayed in the F-Droid client. But the line breaks are removed.

For comparison purposes, the description for Tinfoil for Facebook is specified in the metadata file. It also has several line breaks:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/com.danvelazco.fbwrapper.txt

These are rendered correctly in the F-Droid client.
