configurations HELP text gets wrapped to one line

[gizmocuz]

If the original configuration file includes a help text that is spanned across multiple lines, and a node is included, the resulted configuration file from the user (zwcfg_xxxx.xml) will have a help text that is one line.

For instance, the NodeOn msp31xxMicroSmartPlug.xml

Original:

        <Value type="byte" index="3" genre="config" label="Follow State" size="1" min="0" max="3" value="3">
            <Help>
                This parameter allows Basic Set Commands to be sent when the channel output state changes (ON or OFF). Only the two least significant bits can be addressed.
                Bit 0: Enable or disable Basic Set Commands sent to associated nodes of Group 2, when Channel Output State changes.
                Bit 1: Enable or disable Basic Set Commands sent to associated nodes of Group 3, when Channel Output State changes.
            </Help>
        </Value>

After inclusion and the configuration file is written to disk:

               <Value type="byte" genre="config" instance="1" index="3" label="Follow State" units="" read_only="false" write_only="false" verify_changes="false" poll_intensity="0" min="0" max="3" value="3">
                    <Help>This parameter allows Basic Set Commands to be sent when the channel output state changes (ON or OFF). Only the two least significant bits can be addressed. Bit 0: Enable or disable Basic Set Commands sent to associated nodes of Group 2, when Channel Output State changes. Bit 1: Enable or disable Basic Set Commands sent to associated nodes of Group 3, when Channel Output State changes.</Help>
                </Value>

This results in a not so clean help text.

possible solutions:

# 1 (not tested)
place it in CDATA tags:

<![CDATA[ 
first line
second line
last line
]]>

# 2 Add "\n" behind each line
first line\n
second line\n
last line\n

Maybe in addition to this, do we need the help text in the final zwcfg_xxxx.xml file, or can we somehow retrieve it via the library out of the original file ? (Or maybe this help text can be created internally at startup ?)

yep. Known issue. CDATA is the prefered method, as using a \n in the lines would "break" HTML widgets etc. Its on my plans for when I fix up the help text for builtin values. #327
