Description end of line are ignored in "List Layout"

[Stav88]

To Reproduce

• Create a project using "List" layout
• Create a cue (cue type is not important)
• Edit the cue to create a multiline text
  Example:

  line 1
  line 2
  line 3
  

• Save the cue
• Look at description next to the "GO" button

Expected behavior
The text is multiline

line 1
line 2
line 3

Expected behavior
The text is written in a single line

line 1 line 2 line 3

Linux Show Player version:

• 0.6.3 (Flatpak)
• 0.6.5 (Flatpak)

OS Version

• Xubuntu 24.04

Additional context

• On version 0.5.* end of line where shown
• On version 0.6.* the description is interpreted as HTML. I don't know if it is expected or not. But in HTML end of line are ignored except if we use a css white-space:pre-wrap.

Workaround

• Add tag <p style="white-space:pre-wrap">...</p> around the text.
• Special HTML charcters (<>&") must be replaced with there entities (< > & ")
  Example :

<p style="white-space:pre-wrap">
line 1
line 2
line 3
this text it inside &lt;p style=&quot;white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;...&lt;/p&gt; tags
</p>

On version 0.6.* the description is interpreted as HTML.

Not quite: in version 0.6.x, the description is interpreted as Markdown. (Or at least, Qt's particular take on it.)

Thus, either double spacing the lines:

line 1

line 2

line 3

Or single spacing with backslashes at the end of all but the last line:

line 1\
line 2\
line 3

Will work.

(And yes, I know that the default "dialect" for .setMarkdownText() is MarkdownDialectGitHub, and that as single spacing works here on GitHub it should also work in Qt... but it doesn't.)
