Can line breaks in ICS export be encoded \n instead of \N

[Neudrino]

Hi @qwandor ,

line breaks in ICS export are currently "encoded" as \N. This is valid according to the official ICS specification (page 45).
However, it appears that \n is much more common and some (downstream) software has issues handling the \N correctly.

I have not found the place, where \N is introduced in the code on first sight. As I am not familiar with Rust, I cannot make out any function, which would as a default.

Would it be possible, desired and reasonably simple to change the line separator to \n instead of the capitalised one?

Hi there,
iCalendar import and export is handled by https://crates.io/crates/icalendar, so you could try filing a bug at https://github.com/hoodie/icalendar about that.

I think https://github.com/hoodie/icalendar/blob/c382ae86a5045bf2569d386d928e40221361410c/src/properties.rs#L162 is the relevant line.

This is now fixed in the icalendar crate and I've deployed a new version so the fix is live.

Confirm. That fixes the issue.
Thanks for your effort with this issue in the foreign package! 💯 😃 🙏
