Markdown multiline code block displayed as single line

[SebastianHambura]

Describe the bug
In the documentation description, markdown multiline code blocks are displayed on a single line.

To Reproduce

//!
//! Vitis code snippet :
//! ``` C
//!    int* versions = 0x0080000000 ;
//!    xil_printf("FLAVOUR:	%08x\n\r", versions[10]) ;
//!    xil_printf("GLOBAL_DATE:	%08x\n\r", versions[9]) ;
//!    xil_printf("GLOBAL_TIME:	%08x\n\r", versions[8]) ;
//!    xil_printf("GLOBAL_VER:	%08x\n\r", versions[7]) ;
//!    xil_printf("GLOBAL_SHA:	%08x\n\r", versions[6]) ;
//!    xil_printf("TOP_VER: 	%08x\n\r", versions[5]) ;
//!    xil_printf("TOP_SHA: 	%08x\n\r", versions[4]) ;
//!    xil_printf("CON_VER: 	%08x\n\r", versions[3]) ;
//!    xil_printf("CON_SHA: 	%08x\n\r", versions[2]) ;
//!    xil_printf("HOG_VER: 	%08x\n\r", versions[1]) ;
//!    xil_printf("HOG_SHA: 	%08x\n\r", versions[0]) ;
//! ```
//! Attempting to write to a register, or to read from a non-existant one crashes the software.
//! (and maybe even stalls the whole CPU, need to be tested)
//!
module axi_version_regs #()
endmodule

We get:

** Additional Context **
As far as I know, for Markdown one quote ' -> code displayed on a single line and 3 quotes ''' -> code should be displayed on multiple lines

Looks like this is a bug when converting markdown to html. Exported Markdown file works fine.

It's a pain but you need to insert empty lines:

//!
//! Vitis code snippet :
//!
//! ``` C
//!    int* versions = 0x0080000000 ;
//!
//!    xil_printf("FLAVOUR:	%08x\n\r", versions[10]) ;
//!
//!    xil_printf("GLOBAL_DATE:	%08x\n\r", versions[9]) ;
//!
//!    xil_printf("GLOBAL_TIME:	%08x\n\r", versions[8]) ;
//! ```

//! Attempting to write to a register, or to read from a non-existant one crashes the software.
//! (and maybe even stalls the whole CPU, need to be tested)
//!

I think that there is no way to do this. If we render the break line in the comments as a break line in the HTML this is really ugly, in this case it's not possible to split the big lines.

Other way it's only support break line in comments == break line in HTML for code snippets.

i did a workaround in 3fef984

[qarlosalberto]

Look a good starting point, but I think that it doesn't work for all the cases. I see the problems:

1. Depends of the language the comment symbol is -- (VHDL) or // (Verilog/SV).
2. It's possible to configure the symbol: https://terostechnology.github.io/terosHDLdoc/docs/documenter/getting_started#configuration

Myabe it's better to iterate all the descriptions after the parsing and to do, before to convert to MarkDown:

code_fix = code.replace(/```[^]*```/g, function(match){return match.replace(/\n/g, ' \n');});

What do you think?

[gmartina]

Your are right, i totally forgot about the different comment symbol for verilog/sv. I will revisit this in a new PR.
