    You could write a very generic XFBR to simply replace a character sequence of your choosing with a newline, so you could call the function like:

    XFBR(My_XFBR, ReplaceWithNewline, Text=[This is \n my text])

    and the code does a simple String.Replace("\n",Environment.Newline)

Yes, I was able to get newline characters into a button using an XFBR:

Yeah. I had considered that, but wanted to be native to the dashboard. Thanks for the affirmation that it would work though!
