Softbreaks in the alt text of images are eaten

[yihui]

I have asked the question on the forum and was suggested to file an issue here.

Originally this was an issue in goldmark but it has been fixed recently (in 1.6.0), which has been picked up by Hugo 0.120.3. However, when I render an image like this:

![alt
tex](logo.png)

it still gives me

<img src="logo.png" alt="alttext">

That is, the softbreak was still eaten. I'm hoping to get

<img src="logo.png" alt="alt
text">

From @jmooring:

I’ve verified that (a) v0.120.3 is using yuin/goldmark v1.6.0, and (b) yuin/goldmark v1.6.0 resolves the reported problem. So, this looks like a bug in Hugo’s parser.

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.120.3-a4892a07b41b7b3f1f143140ee4ec0a9a5cf3970+extended darwin/arm64 BuildDate=2023-11-01T17:57:00Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes.

@yihui Until this is resolved, you can use this image render hook...

layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html

<img src="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}" alt="{{ .Text }}" {{- with .Title }} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}>
{{- /**/ -}}
