Issue: Product Rich text metafield line breaks aren’t rendering on the storefront in the Dawn theme. Newlines entered with Shift+Enter appear as a single continuous line on the frontend.
Context: The metafield is used to show product specifications. The user references template code used to output the metafield (not shown) and shares a live example page (vengastore.com/products/amsterdam). A screenshot is attached, which is central for understanding the formatting problem.
Clarification: A “Rich text metafield” in Shopify stores formatted content (e.g., paragraphs/line breaks). The concern is that formatting (line breaks) isn’t preserved when rendered.
Additional input: Another participant confirms experiencing the same issue and notes frustration, suggesting it may be broader than a single store setup.
Status: No fixes, workarounds, or root cause identified in the thread yet. The question remains open regarding why line breaks are not displayed and how to ensure the metafield’s formatting is respected on the product page.
Hi All,
I have a Rich Text Metafield setup for products to display product specifications.
I am using the below to display this Metafield - Although if I add a newline “Shift + Enter” it doesn’t display this in the frontend, it just keeps the text as one line. Can anyone let me know why I cant seem to get line breaks to work when displaying the Metafield?
Theme: Dawn

Thanks for your help!
