Hello,

We have encountered an issue with the Markdown component used in our project.
Whenever an empty line is present in the Markdown content, saving and reloading the document introduces an extra space in the empty line.

This behavior becomes problematic when editing a document multiple times, as it requires manually removing the unwanted spaces to maintain proper alignment between lines. If unnoticed, these additional spaces can lead to inconsistencies in the document layout and formatting.

Unfortunately, Markdown does not allow empty paragraphs. So TRichView adds a non-breaking space ( ) to them when saving.
It would be possible to save <br> instead. <br> is one of few HTML tags that TRichView parses inside Markdown. However, this is not a paragraph break but a line break inside a paragraph.
I can add an option in loading to remove NBSP in paragraphs loaded from Markdown, if this is the only character in the paragraph.

Thank you for your explanation regarding the handling of empty paragraphs in Markdown. I understand the current behavior and appreciate the clarification.

I believe the proposed option to remove non-breaking spaces (NBSP) in paragraphs loaded from Markdown, if they are the only character in the paragraph, would be a great solution. I kindly ask you to implement this feature, as it would significantly improve the usability of the component in our use case.

I look forward to the next version including this option and want to thank you for considering this enhancement.

Hello,

Is this feature included in the new release?

Best regards

Sorry, it was not included in the last release.
But I've made these changes. If you want, I can send modified units to you by email.
They will be included in the next update.

No worries, I can wait for the next update. Thanks for your support!

Yes, it is included in TRichView 24.x.

ok thanks

Hello,

I’m looking for the new property option but I can’t find it. I also checked the release notes, but there’s no mention of it. Am I missing something?

The new option (removing non-breaking spaces from empty lines read from HTML, Markdown, RTF, and DocX) works by default.
It can be turned off by assigning False to RichViewRemoveNbSpAfterImport (global variable from CRVData.pas)

OK thanks
