Line breaks don't work in some situations when querying test properties. I tried three cases. The starting point is two pages (Test1 and Test2) with a text property 'Description'. The descriptions on Test1 and Test2 are:
This is the first test page
*Trying a bulleted list
*With three bullets
*asdf asdf asdf
and:
This is the second test page
#Trying a numbered list
#With only two lines
With a plain 'ask':
{{#ask:[[Category:Test]]
| ?Description |
}}
the result is as expected: A table with two columns and two rows. The descriptions have line breaks, bullets and numbers as expected.
With an ask aimed at only showing the descriptions:
{{#ask:[[Category:Test]]
| mainlabel=- |
| ?Description= |
}}
the result is not as expected. Both descriptions appear in one line separated by a ','.:
This is the first test page *Trying a bulleted list *With three bullets *asdf asdf asdf , This is the second test page #Trying a numbered list #With only two lines
With a 'show':
{{#show:Test1
| ?Description |
}}
the result is also not as expected:
This is the first test page *Trying a bulleted list *With three bullets *asdf asdf asdf
