Hey guys,

Joined the forum because I have a very specific question I cannot find the answer to: some of the summaries on my Kobo Aura show line breaks and others look perfectly fine. Sometimes there's also an abrupt font change.

I use the Calibre 'Comments' field to add the summaries. In Calibre everything looks fine. When I check the metadata html, the summary is coded in seperate lines, rather than one line, which is what's causing the linebreaks:

When there's a font change, it's also reflected in the html.

I've had this happen with summaries I got via 'download metadata', that I c&p into the box or that were already embedded in the file. The only thing that fixes it is editing the html or manually replacing the space where the line break is in the 'Comments' field.

My question is, does anybody have any idea why this happens and how I can fix it in bulk or prevent it from happening in the future? I have 2000+ books in my library, checking and manually changing all of them would be a huge effort.

Thanks!
