In oneditsave, I use RED.notify to warn if the node has been misconfigured in a particular way. It works fine but I'd like to spread the message across two lines. Is that possible?

Thanks,

I just found an example showing that the text string to display is actually html - I didn't know that. Therefore adding `<br>` in the right place solves the problem.

Thank you for that. I was recently trying to use newline characters and it did not work. I will try your solution.
