text/template and preserving new lines from a struct field

[Joseph Lorenzini]

Hi all,

Say I have the following struct:

type Info struct {

       Summary string

       Desc    string

}

And this is the template string

tmplStr      = `Summary={{.Summary}}, Desc={{.Desc}}`

If the value of Desc has newlines, it looks like the template engine strips those out and replaces them with spaces. Is there any way to force the template engine to preserve the new lines?

Thanks,

Joe

Actually, the issue is not the template but my logger. The logger is writing to os.Stderr for some reason that's not preserving new lines but if i do fmt.Println then the new lines are preserved.  Pretty sure i've made a simple error here and need to investigate more.
