Documentation shows \n instead of newline

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Using:
  mabot 0.8
  robot framework 2.7.1
  python 2.7.2
  on Windows 7

Steps to reproduce:

1. create a test case with a multi-line documentation section, e.g.

   This is my test case
      [Documentation] some cool information
      ...             goes here

2. run mabot with the test suite containing the test

3. navigate to the test case

Result: the documentation section shows "some cool information\ngoes here". 

Expected result: the documentation section should have the line feed

Note that this also happens with suite-level documentation shown on the page 
when you have the top node of a suite selected in mabot

The real newlines are escaped in RF model as '\\n'. It seems that mabot does 
not unescape the newlines when displaying the documentation.
