I experienced these same issues during my current project. I exported my
entire website from version 3.0.1CE and imported it into version
3.0.2CE. My website looked fine until I tried to edit one of the pages
that used the FCKeditor. That is when I saw all of the new line breaks
<br /> inserted into my text. I did some research into the matter and I
found these 2 jira issues:
http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-585
http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1195
Both of these issues are marked as "Resolved." OK, so I tried all
combinations for exporting website content. The only combination that
worked was to use the export tool under the Tools menu with the "Keep
versions" check box checked and the "Format XML" check box unchecked.
In the source code, the logic for the export functionality ignores the
"Format XML" check box unless the "Keep versions" check box is checked.
The formatter used to format the XML file has a line width the is
explicitly stated. Therefore, if your text is longer than the stated
line width, a line break is inserted. When this file is imported, that
line break is read in and added to your text.
For those of you that are or have access to a developer, the
executeExport method in info.magnolia.cms.core.ie.DataTransporter.java
is where to start. You should be able to work your way down to the
readFormatted method. This is where the OutputFormat object is created
that formats the XML file. I removed that object and this resulted in
output that was no longer formatted.
I actually ended up removing the "Format XML" check box from the export
page. I am not really sure why this option is there in the first place
I hope this helps.
