Hello,

in a dashboard text node i display stuff.  
Can i display a text on 2 (or more, why not) lines ?

I tried sending `"bla bla" + " \n\r" + "blibli"` into the text node (in the payload from a function node) but it does not seem to interprete the special characters. Only the space is taken into account.  
Is there another way ?

Thanks for your help.

No the text widget is just meant for single lines. You can use a ui-template for multiple lines, tables etc
