When cheat sheet is saved, the line break is correctly translated to 
 in the XML, but the model does not read it back correctly. Other escaped sequences like < and " work correctly.
Worth looking at in 3.6
I feel the sub-step/subitem should support HTML too like step/item node.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
Cf. help item "Cheat Sheet Content File XML Format" of the cheat-sheet version 3.5.500. subitem may have an attribute label e.g. <subitem label="unformatted"/>. In this case label cannot use formatting <b> <br/>. Since version 3.4 a subitem without label attribute may have a description e.g. <subitem><description><b>This is bold</b></description></subitem>. As it seems the label behaviour is not a bug but a feature. Pleas note that the simple cheat sheet editor does not honour the <description> variant.
