What?
Closes #59911
This PR ensures that newline characters (
\n
) in image captions, particularly when added via the Media Library are preserved and rendered correctly in both the editor and the frontend.Why?
When an image caption is populated from the Media Library, it may include newline characters (
\n
). These appear as line breaks initially in the editor but are lost after a refresh, as\n
gets converted to spaces. As a result, line breaks are not respected unless manually re-entered in the editor. confusing for users.How?
Added a
useEffect
in theImageEdit
component to detect when the caption is a string containing\n
, and replace those newline characters with<br />
before the data is passed toCaption
component. This ensures consistent rendering by using proper HTML line breaks.Testing Instructions
