@sdetweil – thanks so much. I wanted to confirm before reporting as a defect, but I guess you did that for me :)

so, is the documentation wrong?
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/compliments

Multi-line compliments:
Use \n to split compliment text into multiple lines, e.g. First line.\nSecond line. will be shown as:

First line.
Second line.

I’m happy making a code change, but the docs state that this should already be working. is it a factor of being an external file?

@broberg – sorry for the lag… I did save a file as utf8 (it was ANSI before). I am simply viewing the MM on the display connected to my Raspberry Pi. Any other guess what I could be doing wrong?

I do have that in the CSS. I haven’t made any CSS customizations. I installed everything two days ago, so I expect I have the latest code installed.

Platform: Raspberry Pi 3
MagicMirror Version [ V1 / V2-Beta ]: 2.9.0

I have the following in my .json file for the compliments module:
{
“anytime” : [
“line 1\nline 2”
]
}

on the screen I see:
line 1 line 2

not what I expect:
line 1
line 2

I wanted to see if this is known issue. I don’t see any issue raised in github. The documentation (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/compliments) says the \n syntax should work for multi-line compliements.

This is external json file if that matters.
