[uf-discuss] X2V, hCard, FN, and "\n" question

[brian suda]

It is probably a parser issue. Do you have a link to the source document?

X2V does try to honor whitespace for some properties, so it will add
newlines and some additional markup such as * for bullets. Without
seeing the source document to know if you have a 'return' character
between the <span class="family-name"> and the <span class="fn"> it is
difficult to pin down where/if there is a problem.

thanks,
