Any solution for moving rich text with paragraph breaks airtable to Webflow?

Hi there,

I am sending data from air table into web flow CMS collections via make. I have added a mark down to HTML module, but I cannot get the rich text box to format properly inside a web flow.

I know that the information is there because when I double click on the rich text element, I can see that the tech space is itself out properly. But I can’t get it to space out properly on its own without clicking on the element and when I published the website.

Trying to show you what I mean. This is a default view of the text being pulled into webflow:

This is what it looks like in the editor if I double click on the text:

Your MD → HTML module appears to be generating CRLF’s ( carriage-return line-feeds ) rather HTML tags like <br> like breaks and <p> paragraphs.

I’d assume that’s a configuration issue with how you’ve set it up. The end result is that your content is one big paragraph with no structure.

Since browsers don’t display CRLFs by default, it appears that way when rendered too.

Ideally what you want is to fix that MD → HTML configuration so that it’s generating actual HTML like this;

<p>Not many people get a second chance, let alone a second life.</p>

<p>I died. Burning in a prison cell I spent years of my life rotting away in.<br>
I had been beaten, battered and bruised beyond repair...but not broken.<br>
Never broken.</p>

<p>By whatever miracle, I’ve been brought back ten years into my past and before I was locked away...<br>
But to a different kind of hell…Wensridge Academy. A place filled with only memories of pain and suffering.</p>

<p>But this time I’ll break the wheel of misfortune, and with it all the people who caused my suffering and death.<br>
This time I’ll have the life I should have always had.</p>

But if you struggle to get that, you can force CRLFs to render with a Line break setting of pre-wrap;
