[alicebot-general] Newline/Carriage Return Issue with AIML on ProgramD 4.6

[lipska]

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can give me advice regarding the issue I am
experiencing. I wrote AIML for one of the old programD interfaces ( 4.1.*) 
couple of years ago. I have now upgraded to the new programd 4.6 and have
experienced a number of issues regarding whitespace/carriage returns.

I am not sure if these are related to my incorrect usage of AIML, missing
settings or perhaps something else.

I have a number of examples of what happens

Case 1 
 Consider the below extract of AIML

<category>
<pattern>TESTONE</pattern>
<template>
hello <srai>TESTTWO</srai>
</template>
</category>

<category>
<pattern>TESTTWO</pattern>
<template>
Right here
</template>
</category>
 
When I type TESTONE it should print out hello and the process TESTTWO i.e. I
would expect it to print out
hello Right here

Instead it puts a carriage return in outputting the below
hello 
Right here

Now I am able to correct this by changing the AIML under TESTTWO to have the
template all on one line

<category>
<pattern>TESTTWO</pattern>
<template>Right here</template>
</category>

This outputs
hello Right here

I have lots and lots of AIML that is written in the previous form and this
would mean hours of work to fix. I realise this is probably related to some
new interpretation in progamd 4.6 of carriage returns i.e. they are included
as part of the content. Is there any easy way I can switch this off

Any help would be greatly appreciated
