Bug
After upgrading to Dolibarr 23.0.3, text formatting in generated documents/PDFs seems to break when a free text field contains the characters < or >.
When these characters are used in multiline descriptions, for example in intervention lines, proposals or invoices, the generated PDF no longer preserves the line breaks correctly. The characters also seem to be interpreted, encoded or stripped inconsistently, possibly because they are treated as HTML/XML markup delimiters.
The issue was reproduced on an intervention document, but similar behavior is reported in proposals, intervention sheets, invoices and other generated documents.
Dolibarr Version
23.0.3
Environment PHP
PHP 8.3.31
Environment Database
MariaDB 10.11.18
Steps to reproduce the behavior and expected behavior
Create or edit an intervention line, proposal line, invoice line or another document line with a multiline description.
Add text containing the characters < or >.
Example input:
Price changes:
Gentse stoverij: from €2.00 > €2.50
Chateaubriand Natuur: from €2.50 > €3.00
Rundstataki: from €4.00 > €4.50
Save the line.
Generate the PDF/document.
Open the generated PDF.
Expected behavior:
The generated PDF should preserve the original multiline formatting and display < and > as normal text characters.
Example expected output:
Price changes:
Gentse stoverij: from €2.00 > €2.50
Chateaubriand Natuur: from €2.50 > €3.00
Rundstataki: from €4.00 > €4.50
Current output:
Price changes:Gentse stoverij: from €2.00 > €2.50Chateaubriand Natuur: from €2.50 > €3.00Rundstataki: from €4.00 > €4.50
