Missing support for <em> tags in release notes

[jarek-foksa]

According to the official Freedesktop documentation metainfo files can contain <description> tags with emphasis (<em>) tags inside them. However, this does not seem to be supported by the beta Flathub website. For example, the following XML code:

<releases>
  <release version="3.82.0" date="2022-04-09">
    <description>
      <ul>
        <li><em>Added:</em> Adwaita theme</li>
        <li><em>Added:</em> Adwaita Dark theme</li>
        <li><em>Fixed:</em> Keyboard shortcuts are fired while filling forms</li>
      </ul>
    </description>
  </release>
</releases>

... is rendered as follows:

This is currently a Bug in Flathub Builder. The <em> tag gets removed from AppStream, so tehres nothing that Flathub can show. Should be fixed with flatpak/flatpak-builder#418.

Hrm, but https://beta.flathub.org/apps/details/codes.merritt.Nyrna has an em tag somehow.

[YeldhamDev]

Currently, the <em> tag is just shown in raw form. You can see it happening here in the changelog:
https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.yeldham.Librerama

https://flathub.org/apps/org.openshot.OpenShot

see flathub/org.openshot.OpenShot#31

Seems to work now, but needs the app to be rebuild

[razzeee]

All apps listed here seem to be fixed as far as I can tell.

[YeldhamDev]

@razzeee The changelog on mine still shows the tags, will rebuilding it fix it now?

[razzeee]

I would think so, but I think technically it's not exactly supported in releases. So it's probably fine on the website, but broken in gnome software.

[razzeee]

This should start working after rebuilding
