I am trying to add a post address to a document:

First line
Second line

As you can see, the <br/> is being removed. I disabled htmlscrubber, but that was not it. The markdown Dingus on its homepage processes the inline HTML just fine.

I tried searching the web and wiki but could not find any information on why
would be removed.

It does work if you use <br />:

First line
Second line

Or, as we've just been told in #ikiwiki: put two spaces at the end of the first line.

First line
Second line

--tschwinge

<br/> is also valid, so this is a bug still. --madduck

It is the htmlscrubber that removes that. It's due to Debian bug #365971, basically the [[!cspan HTML::Scrubber]] doesn't understand xhtml tags of this sort at all, I hacked it to support <br /> by tellig it to treak the "/" as an attribute, but if there's no space, it doesn't see it as an attribute. Hmm, I could also add br as a tag name, that would catch both cases. Ok, done --Joey
