KirbyText Line Spacing Format Issue

Kirby 3 Questions 🤔
1

When I’m in the panel and have a bold formatted header such as **Title Two** if I do not have an empty line above that line Kirbytext will not format it and just output **Title Two** with the stars.

In Kirby 2 this worked fine, just noticed that several of my pages have this issue after the conversion.

Update: After digging a little bit it seems to happen if there is html tags above the markdown. For example:

<script src="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/assets/integration/v1/sdk.js"  type="text/javascript"></script>
###Improved Fraud Alerts

Yields ###Improved Fraud Alerts on the page, but if I give it a space between the two it works fine.

It also seems to happen if there is a file just above the text.

Could you please post an example? I can’t reproduce this, but maybe I’m missing something.

Also, are you using the standard textarea or another via plugin? And which Kirby version?

4

Updated above with examples, I’ve already fixed it on my site, but wanted to point out that it was something that broke from 2 to 3.

5

Standard Kirby 3.2.0

Ok, with those examples I can reproduce the issue. Don’t know if that’s a bug or not, I always insert new lines to start a new paragraph, especially after tags etc. but also in general to make text more readable, so I wouldn’t even know if that worked in Kirby 2 or not.

Feel free to create an issue on GitHub.

Does it persist if you update to the current release? Im guessing yes but worth a shot.

8

Yes, I’m currently testing with 3.2.2, so updating won’t help.

Not much I can say about this behavior in Kirby but as far as I know, this is implementation-dependent of the Markdown parser. This discussion happens with other software too and in some editors there’s a checkbox to require a new line; I don’t remember anymore what the official standard says but most likely this is not Kirby specific.

10

I’ll update now.

11

Sure but wasn’t a bug fixed recently around white space in snippets used in the textfield, the spacing incorrectly trigging pre tags? Perhaps this is related. I was hoping the latest minor release might help.

12

I meant 3.2.2, sorry.

13

It persists. I know I didn’t have the issue in Kirby 2 because I didn’t change my content when I converted over to Kirby 3. Only after reviewing a few pages after the upgrade did I see it.

14

From what I can see, it doesn’t happen with simple paragraphs like this:

Lorem ipsum etc.
**New Title**
Lorem lorem boring boring

but only after HTML tags/KIrbytags. Question is if this is due to issues with the Markdown parser or Kirbytext.

I think it is a Parsedown issue:

$parsedown = new Parsedown();

$markdownWithHtml = <<<MARKDOWN
<script>let element = 'el';</script>
#Test
MARKDOWN;

$parsedown = new Parsedown();
echo $parsedown->text($markdownWithHtml);
