New Lines

Command: new-lines

Description: Convert line breaks to HTML line-break tags.

Arguments

• trim : Whether to trim whitespace from each line.
• remove-empty : Whether to remove empty lines after trimming.

Notes

If you want the lines wrapped in something, rather than just terminated with a line break, then use wrap-lines, which has similar arguments.

Source Code

function newLines(working, command) {
  // Get all arguments upfront
  const trim = command.getArg("trim");
  const removeEmpty = command.getArg("remove-empty");

  const lineBreakTag = "
"; // HTML5 line break tag (no closing tag needed)

  const shouldTrim = trim === "true" || trim === true;
  const shouldRemoveEmpty = removeEmpty === "true" || removeEmpty === true;

  const lines = working.text
    .split("\n")
    .map((line) => shouldTrim ? line.trim() : line)
    .filter((line) => shouldRemoveEmpty ? line : true);
  
    return lines.join(lineBreakTag);
}
