Title Body

I am taking Spanned Text from an EditText box and converting it to a HTML tagged string using HTML.toHtml. This works fine. I have verified that the string is correct and contains a <br> in the appropriate location. However, when I got to convert the tagged string back to a spanned text to populate a TextView or EditText using HTML.fromHtml the <br> (or multiple ones if they are present) at the end of the first paragraph disappear. This means that if a users entered text with multiple line breaks and wanted to keep that formatting it gets lost. I attached a picture to help illustrate this. The first EditText is the user input, the TextView Below it is the HTML.tohtml result of the EditText above it, the EditText below it is populated using HTML.fromHtml using the string in the TextView above it. As you can see the line breaks have disappeared and so have the extra lines. Furthermore, when the spanned text of the second edit text is run through the HTML.toHtml it now produces a different HTML tagged String. I would like to be able to take the HTML tagged String from the first EditText and populate other TextViews or EditTexts without losing line breaks and formatting.
