Currently when I link something with line breaks, like poetry, the text in the link preview appears all on one line in applications like Discord. Is there a way to make sure link previews show line breaks?
Thank you!

Works now after clearing the browser cache. The design has also solidified. It was at an image field's page. (Clearing the site cache had no effect). Hereby fixed, thank you...

Ow, it was the browser cache. The site cache (or cron) didn't do it. A good old devil in the details. :-) Thanks for the input!

I'm not seeing that issue (I just spinned out a fresh installation with 1.30.2). What's really weird is that you still have the "less / more" which shouldn't be there. Clear caches? Also...

Please try clearing caches if you haven't already. Please can you say what page this is happening on as I can't reproduce with a site on 1.30.1

If I recall correctly, Backdrop will not gzip if the page content is already gzipped. And it only happens if you've enabled page compression setting. But maybe that doesn't help here...

Hi CurrentBias,
Can you clarify how you are doing this. What do you mean "when I link something with line breaks". Do you mean enter text with line breaks in the Body of a page? If so, are you using Filtered Text and CKEditor (which are the default for Body)? I'm trying to enter text with line breaks in the Body using "Filtered Text" and CKEditor. When I click Preview it shows correctly.
Thanks for the reply! To clarify, I mean the opengraph link preview that appears when a link is posted somewhere like Discord -- here's an example:
The post itself has line breaks, but the preview does not -- I'm wondering how to make the preview display the line breaks as well
Sorry, I really don't know how you are making Backdrop show a link preview like the one you posted - never done that before. Is this in a textarea field? Or what kind of field?
Does it display the same as a link preview in other platforms?
Perhaps it is just discord discarding the markup?
