Hi all
I'm using ui text ui table ui notify and I would write multi-line text. I try passing a payload with "\n" but not work.
Can someone help me?

You really need to provide a bit more if you want some help. How about creating a small flow demonstration your issue and then you can export it and attach it to a reply. That way people can see what you are currently doing.

You can display multi-line text in a dashboard text node like this:

[
    {
        "id": "28b1b2ddd3155eb6",
        "type": "ui_text",
        "z": "12f7dc31296fd47a",
        "group": "a6e358b.672ffa8",
        "order": 7,
        "width": "6",
        "height": "3",
        "name": "",
        "label": "text",
        "format": "{{msg.payload}}",
        "layout": "row-spread",
        "className": "",
        "x": 630,
        "y": 40,
        "wires": []
    },
    {
        "id": "b3170ca4f76ddaa5",
        "type": "inject",
        "z": "12f7dc31296fd47a",
        "name": "",
        "props": [
            {
                "p": "payload"
            },
            {
                "p": "topic",
                "vt": "str"
            }
        ],
        "repeat": "",
        "crontab": "",
        "once": false,
        "onceDelay": 0.1,
        "topic": "",
        "payload": "Ottowa<p>Washington DC<p>Mexico City<p>Belmopan<p>Tegucigalpa<p>Guatemala City<p>",
        "payloadType": "str",
        "x": 490,
        "y": 40,
        "wires": [
            [
                "28b1b2ddd3155eb6"
            ]
        ]
    },
    {
        "id": "a6e358b.672ffa8",
        "type": "ui_group",
        "name": "Demo",
        "tab": "4e528085.a1bfa",
        "order": 1,
        "disp": true,
        "width": "20",
        "collapse": false
    },
    {
        "id": "4e528085.a1bfa",
        "type": "ui_tab",
        "name": "Demo",
        "icon": "dashboard",
