Transform to Markdown inserts a line break in fig/title element

Post by sweetsweetstefan »

Hi there! I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this behaviour, where a title beyond a certain length in a fig/title element gets a line break inserted when transforming to Markdown. It's inconvenient because I've selected "markdown_github" as the transtype, but most Markdown readers choke on the line break, and my image fails to load.

Here is the DITA in Oxygen:

And here is the corresponding output, which fails to render properly:

Is this expected behaviour? If I chop the title to about 170 characters, the Markdown comes out fine, but beyond that, it comes out like this.

Thanks!
Radu

Hi,

I added a bug on the DITA OT plugin which handles the DITA to markdown publishing along with a possible fix suggestion:
