Automatic line-break fixes?

[Andre601]

There is currently a minor issue with Modrinth and using the Release Body's content for the changelog.

Modrinth requires line breaks to be made with two spaces, which a release does not.

This means that a release body like this...

## Changes
Updated some dependencies.
[See what else has changed](https://example.com)

...becomes this on Modrinth when no spaces are added

## Changes
Updated some dependencies. [See what else has changed](https://example.com)

Is there an easy way to fix this (Outside of remembering to always use double-spaces which I sure will forget :P)

This is a part of the bigger issue, which I discussed in #19. In short, all platforms use different markdown engines (CurseForge's one being completely and utterly terrible), therefore in order to debate this problem mc-publish needs to present a concept of normalization of your changelogs/readmes, which will drastically increase the complexity level of the whole project, and I do not want that. While it may be worth doing for automatic update of project descriptions, it is clearly far from the optimal ratio of complexity/benefits, especially considering the fact the requested functionality can be easily implemented on the user side, namely:

1. It's not that hard to press the Enter key twice
2. You can obtain and modify ${{ github.event.release.body }} by yourself and supply the modrinth-changelog input with the corrected description:

- name: Obtain GitHub Release body
  id: release_body
  run: |
    body=$'${{ github.event.release.body }}'

    # Replace every newline symbol with two newline symbols
    body="${body//$'\n'/$'\n\n'}"

    # Escape `%`, `\n`, and `\r` in order for `set-output` to work
    # https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/26288
    body="${body//'%'/'%25'}"
    body="${body//$'\n'/'%0A'}"
    body="${body//$'\r'/'%0D'}"

    # Set the output
    echo "::set-output name=body::$body"

- name: Upload assets to *, and Modrinth
  uses: Kir-Antipov/[email protected]
  with:
    # ...
    modrinth-changelog: ${{ steps.release_body.outputs.body }}
    # ...

Thanks for the reply.

How would I modify the content for modrinth?

[Kir-Antipov]

Updated the answer. Did not test it, so let me know how it goes

[Andre601]

I would prefer not changing a line break to a new paragraph, but just a line break...

Not sure if \n\n is treated as a simple line break

That's why I won't make this a part of the project :) Feel free to modify the given example to suit your personal preferences
