Rocket.chat: How to send to incoming webhook with linebreaks?
Your Rocket.Chat version: 0.35.0
When sending back a payload to incoming webhook integration, I tried to send this:
"text": "This is first line. \nThis is second line"
And the result I received:
This is first line. This is second line
Did I do it right or am I missing something?
EDIT: Typo from /n to \n

It seems to me that you want to send \n instead of /n to mean a line break.

It's been a while, has anybody succeeded with this since then? I am facing exactly the same problem. I have tried:
\n\\n\r\r\n/n(well well)<br>
And none of those work as I want to.

Resolved: I was trying this in a non text field; in the text fields, \n works.

its curious, if u put the new-line-tag \n at the end without any character afterwards - it won't will work.
eg.
works not
'text' => "Lorem ipsum \n\n",
works
'text' => "Lorem ipsum \n\n anychar",
furthermore:
in the pretext of a field:
nothing works
either \n or \r or anything else
eg.
'attachments' => [[
'color' => 'good',
'pretext' => "Lorem ipsum:\n anychar",
'fields' => [
[
"title" => "title 1" ",
"value" => $request->title,
"short" => false
],
...

@graywolf336 any ideas on the pretext field?
As to why text at the end won't allow you to do a new line. I think it strips them off at the end. Which I think is probably intentional.

Where is solution?
I'm trying to send webhook to Rocket from PHP
I'm trying and \n\n, and \n, and \r and \r\n
and all time have
(
[0] => <!DOCTYPE html>
[1] => <html lang="en">
[2] => <head>
[3] => <meta charset="utf-8">
[4] => <title>Error</title>
[5] => </head>
[6] => <body>
[7] => <pre>Bad Request</pre>
[8] => </body>
[9] => </html>
)
What i need to use in string like
$command = 'Hello Bro!'."\n".'How are you?';

I found some interesting method
$command = 'Hello Bro!\\nHow are you?';

I am using a linux bash script to send messages to rocket.chat. but i nothing worked for me to display break lines, instead of sending a second message. I tried this
./postToRocketChat.sh -b "Notification send\\nNew Line"
and i will get this from server
{"text:" "Notification sendnNew Line"}
