Does $articleHtml->find ignore newlines in elements?

[wrobelda]

I am struggling with a bridge where I can't get $articleHtml->find() to keep the newlines in the text.
Consider following example:

<span>Line1
Line2
Line3</span>

This will unfortunately be returned by find() as a single line. Am I missing something?

The find() method itself doesn't ignore newlines, but RSS-Bridge's HTML parser strips them by default. Set $stripRN = false (7th parameter) when calling getSimpleHTMLDOM() or getSimpleHTMLDOMCached():

$articleHtml = getSimpleHTMLDOMCached(
    $item['uri'],
    86400,  // cache TTL
    [],     // headers
    [],     // opts
    true,   // lowercase
    true,   // forceTagsClosed
    DEFAULT_TARGET_CHARSET,
    false   // stripRN = false to preserve newlines
);

Yup, just came back to report that as well. Thanks.

However, interestingly, even with stripRN: false it still strips newline characters from <meta> elements!
