Using HTML for the Readme text


  • Subject: Using HTML for the Readme text

In an effort to streamline the process of maintaining the release notes in the Readme that is displayed in our installer package, we are experimenting with storing the Readme as Markdown and compiling it into HTML when it is needed in the installer package.  For the most part, it works quite well.

However, it seems that there is a small problem with the way Installer renders the HTML  When Installer renders the HTML, it seems to consider the margin-bottom of all ordered and unordered lists to be zero.

Upon further investigation, it looks like textutil has the same problem.

In other words, for the following HTML:

<ol>
<li>Item</li>
</ol>
<p>paragraph</p>


Safari displays:

	• Item

paragraph


Whereas Installer displays:

	• Item
paragraph


As you can imagine, this isn't really a "big" problem, but it looks a lot worse when the text following the list is an H2.  Has anyone seen this before?  Is there any way to make Installer render the file correctly?

Thanks,
Andrew Keller
