Mermaid: Sequencediagram text with <br /> BR tag with space fails

[gene1wood]

This works

working example

sequenceDiagram
    participant Joe
    participant Alice
    Joe->>Alice: Foo
    Note over Alice: Bar<br/>Baz
    Note over Joe,Alice: That note above should have had a carriage return between Bar and Baz

but this, with a space between the r and / fails by rendering the <br /> as text not as a line break. One tricky thing is that if you look at it in the interactive view, and then type something on the line with the <br /> it displays correctly, but the view link continues to display incorrectly.

non working example

sequenceDiagram
    participant Joe
    participant Alice
    Joe->>Alice: Foo
    Note over Alice: Bar<br />Baz
    Note over Joe,Alice: That note above should have had a carriage return between Bar and Baz

This may relate to some challenges people had in #384

@watsoncj You'd said that PR #764 fixes this bug, but when I go and test the non working example above, it still manifests this bug.

@tylerlong merged your PR into 7.0.2 but the bug persists in the current version of 8.1.0.

@knsv Could you remove the stale / Status: Wontfix label that the @github-actions bot applied as this issue is still outstanding and waiting on a reply from @watsoncj or a fix?

This seems to be similar to #1088. Looking at the commit mentioned above, the regex <br\/?> is used to determine the lines. This takes care of <br> and <br/> but does not find <br />.

If noone else is already working on this issue, I can take a look at it.

PR coming up for the weekend I suppose.
