Break tags are stripped from Break blot in getSemanticHTML

[amyasmith]

The Break blot for empty newlines is rendered as <p><br></p> in the editor, which correctly shows multiple sequential newlines, but this becomes <p></p> when converted to HTML with getSemanticHTML(). This causes a discrepancy in the output.

Steps for Reproduction

1. Visit the Quill playground
2. Enter some newlines
3. Check inspector
4. Run getSemanticHTML()

Expected behavior:
Semantic HTML will include <br> tags

Actual behavior:
Semantic HTML does not include <br> tags

Platforms:

Tested on MacOS Sonoma on Firefox and Chrome

Version:

2.0.1

I would appreciate if anyone has a quick fix to this that can be implemented with Parchment/Registry. I don't want to have to do replaceAll() on the HTML output to fix this.

Hey ^^, One way i found was to make the p become a div, and then replace the empty <div></div> with <div><br></biv> when i export the html using the getSemanticHTML()

import Quill from 'quill'

const Block = Quill.import('blots/block')
Block.tagName = 'DIV'

export default Block

You can use this to make the p tag become a div and then when you want to export you can do this quill.getSemanticHTML().replace(/<div><\/div>/g, '<div><br></div>')
