Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We are using local scoop buckets and the description field is very limited.
Long descriptions are hard to read because of missing paragraphs.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support the possibility to add newlines or even markdown in descriptions.

Chocolatey descriptions do actually support that. There should be no issue with that.

Could you please share a sample .MD description?

[BastianKamp]

Maybe it is a bug then. maybe in scoop?
I have tried a scoop manifest file with the following description field:
"description": "## Test one two three \n\r- this is a \n\r- unordered list \n\r1. this is \n\r2. a ordered list",

it seems wingetui crashes on fetching the manifest. It shows loading endlessly

Can you please share your WingetUI log after the crash?

[BastianKamp]

Seems like i just forget to escape the '\'.

with this manifest:
"description": "## Test one two three \\n\\r- this is a \\n\\r- unordered list \\n\\r1. this is \\n\\r2. a ordered list",

wingetui shows this:

EDIT: escaping is not correct. Forget about this post.

Can you please share your WingetUI log after the crash?

The app does not crash but it just shows 'loading'.
Where do i find the log? WingetUI log in the menu does not show anything about it.

I have tested my first description snippet with scoop-cli and it worked like it should.

Seems like wingetui has a problem here

[marticliment]

and how does the command "scoop cat {pkgName}" work?

[BastianKamp]

same

interesting is it makes a multiline string.... which is not possible in the manifest i think
