1030146 - [Calendar] Event View: event notes doesn't respect line breaks

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1183546

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Calendar, defect)

Description

[Miller Medeiros [:millermedeiros]]

steps to reproduce:

 1. open calendar app and click the "add event" button
 2. edit the "Notes" field, adding multiple line breaks between the words/phrases.
 3. save the event.
 4. open the event details.
 5. see that "Notes" are displayed as a single paragraph (line breaks are removed).

expected output: I expect the view event view to display the line breaks.

PS: this happens with events created on local calendar or on events imported from an external calendar. We store the proper value but we are simply not converting the line breaks into `<br>` before displaying.

PPS: we can't use a naive `nl2br` implementation since this can be used as a possible attack vector (calendar server might inject malicious HTML/JS), it needs to escape all HTML tags besides `<br>`. It would be great if we had a shared lib for things like this.
