[FEAUG] <br> (line break) ignored in Alternative Ttitle

Why is <br> not interpreted as "line break" in the Alternative Title: field? See my messy Alternative Title in Leduc, Alphonse, La Quêteuse. May I put a line break into this field?

For some reason the "<br>" tag was rendered in the text as as "<br>" so it wasn't recognised by the Wiki software. I've just changed it to "<br>" and it seems to work OK now.

Yes it does! Did I cause this misinterpretation by putting a space between <br>
and the next word?

Probably not. It was because the opening "<" and ">" characters were treated as symbols instead of characters, for some reason. If it happens again then that's what you need to look out for.

It seems the right procedure is:
1: type the Alternative Title without the line break when you're in the Add Work menu,
2: click the Add box when you've typed all informations,
3: move to the new page of this work, edit it and insert <br> at the right place.
But don't insert <br> at step 1.
