This is not a bug, depending on the Twitter client and platform newlines may or may not be visible. ---

Ok, it seems like this should be doable by getting the html tweet body supplied by twitter and interpolating that directly into the template. Is that correct? I don’t think mustache will allow us to do this except by including raw html. As for the formatting, it appears twitter uses `white-space: pre-wrap;`, which is usually applied to embedded tweets with a script. The options I can see are: - `pre` tag - may break wrapping - styling - overriding css could break tweet display - escape all whitespace - including exotic unicode space chars? Alternatively, you might choose to leave the twitter engine styling as-is, and let users enable ‘rich’ oembed type if they want more extensive styling. If I understand correctly, whitelisting is currently done by editing a ruby file; would it be helpful if I were to try and shift that to a configurable option, and allow enabling different oembed or opengraph types on a per-site basis? ---
