The configuration-processor removes all new lines from JavaDoc but this can cause troubles when one is using an HTML <pre> tag in its JavaDoc.
This is working as designed as there's no support for formatting of the configuration property descriptions. We should probably make this clearer in the documentation by mentioning it in this section.
I agree adding a note there is a good idea. For the record, there is already a note in the documentation
@wilkinsona @snicoll can I make a PR for this?
@rhamedy A PR would be most welcome. Thanks.
Closing in favour of PR #18578
