Text that's prefixed by <br /> is not shown in sketchpad

[smathot]

The following textline element is not shown on a sketchpad. The reason is the <br /> tag (empty line) that starts the text. The same tag at another position does not cause any issues.

draw textline center=1 color=white font_bold=no font_family=serif font_italic=no font_size=32 html=yes show_if=always text="<br />test" x=0 y=0 z_index=0

So this could be solved by simply checking for a
tag at the beginning of the string, and remove it if it is found?

No it should be treated as a blank line.
