Espanso: Multiline strings

[Tzahreddin]

Hi, I used espanso for the first time and was not able to create a multiline replacement.

I used https://yaml-multiline.info/ as model, but nothing worked with espanso.

Am I using it wrong or is that 'feature' / yaml-Syntax not implemented?

Hi @Tzahreddin,
Thanks for the feedback. I've experienced that problem too, I think it's due to the way serde implements it's parser. For now, you could get it working by using \n inside the trigger.
I'll take a look at the bug whenever possible and let you know.

Thanks for your help

Hi @Tzahreddin,
I've looked into your issue and multiline strings are working correctly for me on MacOS. Which operating system are you using?
Try with this syntax:

  - trigger: ":test"
    replace: |
      test
      multiline

Let me know if it works in your machine so that we can close this issue.

Thanks for your help

Considering that there have been no updates on this issue, I'll close it now as I can't reproduce the problem.
Let me know if you need more help.

Cheers
