Bug report for ox-icalendar: newlines should be CRLF

[Stephen J. Eglen]

Hello,

If I have a test file

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* test 1

<2023-01-05 Thu 19:00-19:20>

----------------------------------------------------------------------


and then convert to an .ics file using C-c C-e c f

I get the attached test.ics file, but copied here too:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR

END:VCALENDAR

The lines from BEGIN:VEVENT to CATEGORIES:test inclusive have CR (^M) as well
as LF (^J) as newline [in the text above, I've converted the ^M to ***
to see them eaer.  Is that intended?  Uploading the file to
https://icalendar.org/validator.html gives me the error

> Lines not delimited by CRLF sequence near line # 1
> Reference: RFC 5545 3.1. Content Lines

Nicolas (cc'ed) has confirmed that it seems to be a problem.  Before I
work slowly on a suggested patch, does anyone have an idea on the best
way forward?  Is it possible to encode the file as "DOS" ,using
something like set-buffer-file-coding-system?  SOme lines do however
have \r and \n see e.g. org-icalendar-fold-string which inserts both \r
and \n




Best wishes, Stephen
