Research direction

Start by tracing how forum posts are rendered in the journal, focusing on the handling of newline content and HTML encoding; the issue does not name files or tests. Reproduce by posting in the forums and viewing the journal. Done means newlines display as line breaks rather than literal <br /> tags.
