Newline characters lead to broken CSV
See original GitHub issueOverview
When reading an html table that includes \n characters inside a cell, converting to CSV produces broken files.
from frictionless import Resource
from frictionless.plugins.html import HtmlDialect
resource = Resource(path="data/table-with-newline-characters.html", dialect=HtmlDialect(selector="#id"))
resource.write(path="data/table-data.csv")
