Rich editor and seamtext conversion

[vidda]

Hi to all :)

I have a question/doubt. In rich editor component, when useSeamText attribute is set to 'true', the result text conversion always have two end of line ("\n" on Java) characters.

For example:
The next text: "Hello world"
Will be: "Hello world\n\n" after conversion.

Is this an error or a requirement of SeamText?

Also, I have see that any "enter" input generates the same, two end of line ("\n") characters.
For example:
"Line one
line two"

After conversion it will be: "Line one\n\nline two\n\n"

Maybe there is the error (if it is an error, maybe it isn't because requirements of SeamText). Rich editor converts all "breakline" o "enter" into two end of line ("\n") characters, but it wouldn't be necessary with the final end of line.


Then in xhtml, seamtext works fine with converted text. But It works fine too with text without final two end of line characters. The problem is when you use this text in java code for example. You would probably find yourself adding on your function, control code to avoid these two "\n".

The question is... is this an error? If true, I will open a JIRA with these issue :).


Sorry if I don't explain it correctly, I don't manage english 100% correct, but I hope it should be understandably.

Any ideas? :)

thats works according to Seam Text rules.

pay your attention that every paragraph should be followed by new line.

Ok, thanks you for the answer :).

It seems Seam Text needs and an additional blank line to wrap text into a new paragraph.

I must be careful with this on my code, because I want to show a preview with only first "x" characters or first line :). And the two end "\n" may confuse code and thinks there are more than one line when only one is present.

Thanks again!
