Migration line breaks

Looks on to me?
I've also done a rebuild just to be sure.

Yeah looks fine to me, is your forum public? Can you send a link to that post you shared?

Not the same post but the generic problem:

Do you get proper linebreaks when you make a new post? Or is this happening on new posts as well?

Works if I press enter, but not if I type \n.
[edit - but \n doesn't work here either]

I posted these using the API and CURL - is it possible that there is a character set issue, or is mongoDB utf-8 by default?

So it looks like the API translates \n to \\n and the markup plugin doesn't pickup \n\n as a double new line.

Can I send a different string to create a new line? or somehow prevent the API translation?
Thanks

Did you use the write api plugin to post those? Maybe it's an issue with the plugin. @julianlam

@Chris1 Can you provide the curl request you used to reproduce the issue. Thanks.

Example:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --data "title=AeA Intern looking for information&content=I am an Intern for AeA and stumbled across this forum. \nI am looking for information on this, particularly information reguarding the issues that have come up reguarding Big 4 and others droping smaller buisnesses because they do not have the resources to handle all of these audits. I am wondering if anyone here can point me in the direction i need to go to find information on this. I am really focused on Small Buisness, but i also need to find if there is any plans to ammend the regulations to fix the problems. If anyone has ANY information, please reply or email me. thanks so much.&cid=17&_uid=1" http://localhost:4567/api/v1/topics

Yes, using the API write plugin.

Thanks

So the solution I have found is to replace all of the \n line breaks with %0A characters. The API then sends these to display correctly.

I'm not sure if there is a better way, but that solves my problem once I purge the topics and repost.

Thanks for all your help.
