Newline in hint

Is it possible to define some empty lines or line breaks inside a hint text to structure it?
I tried some things (i.e. “&#10;” or “\n” or <br>) in document model field (attribute externalDescription) and form model field configuration hint, but without success.

Hi @gunther-stable-thorn

I had a chat with our Plasma team ( :star_struck: @livia-cached-ice) and I’ve got a bit of information for you.

In the 2023.06 release line, the tooltips are rendered in a default widget provided by the browser. This means that we don’t have any control over how the tooltip is rendered and the results can be different from browser to browser. As far as we know, no browser supports adding line breaks in the tooltip.

In the 2024.06 release line we have started using our own A12 Widget to display tooltips. This widget is available from the 2024.06-ext4 release (A12W-10626). The default behavior of this widget is similar to the normal browser tooltip but has a few extra features to make it more accessible.

However, now that we have this widget, you could create a new requirement to request the functionality that you require.

hello @malcolm-silver-ice and @livia-cached-ice, thank You very much for these background information. We will think about such a requirement request.
best regards

hello @malcolm-silver-ice and @livia-cached-ice, after consulting our application management we would appreciate a tooltip encancement according Your recommendation above. So I created a request <INTERNAL_LINK>

best regards, Gunther
