Cant get line breaks in Table Comments to work. about schemaspy

I haven't had time yet, but it's going to pass thru markdown processing so at least two spaces are needed before the line break.

But since it's imported from the SchemaMeta I wonder if some escaping is needed. Escaping to avoid the escaping since it seems to render it as \n.

Since it goes thru markdown it might be possible with <br/> but there is a risk that it will be escaped and rendered as is.

I'll see if I get a chans to look at it today.

Thank you!

Got to testing <br /> break XML syntax. The \n isn't translated correctly from XML to String in java(DocumentBuilder), so that doesn't yield the desired outcome. However DocumentBuilder translates html codes.

So to get the line breaks it's space + space +

<schemaMeta xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://schemaspy.org/xsd/6/schemameta.xsd" >
    <comments>Database comment</comments>
    <tables>
        <table name="usr" comments="Line  &#10;with  &#10; no  &#10; hardbreak  \n">
            <column name="username" comments="Column comment"/>
        </table>
    </tables>
</schemaMeta>

Thanks!

Think we'll go the DB comment route.

Sorry slightly unrelated, do you know if there's a way to colour text?

@dmarkey markdown doesn't have that support. We could look if the framework we use has an extension for it. But no support at the moment, the only workarounds for it are really cumbersome by adding style sheet elements to the prior to the markdown, and it's too horrible to work with, so I would suggest to avoid it.
