Description
RSS feed text doesn't represent newlines the same way as rendered webpage does.
If I write this text in the editor:
This is on the first line.
This is on the second line.
This is on the third line.
then it is rendered on the web like this:
This is on the first line.
This is on the second line.
This is on the third line.
but in RSS, like this:
This is on the first line. This is on the second line. This is on the third line.
