Course Catalog - Line breaks in Course Description field breaks JS required for search

[megoconnor]

Description

If line breaks are added in the Course Description field for Course pages, those line breaks are output in the JS that powers the search. You'll receive the following error in the developer console when attempting to search:

tipuesearch_content.js:6
Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

Workaround

Sanitize the Course Description field for JSON in the _cms/formats/velocity/search-content-js Format.

Setting the variable on Line 10:

#set ( $desc = $_EscapeTool.xml($data.getChild("description").value) )

Output on Line 18:

"text": "#sanitizeJsonValue($desc)"

Macro:

#macro (sanitizeJsonValue $value)$value.replaceAll("([\t\r\n]|(\s{2,}))", "")#end
