Great content! There was a lot to take from here! Especially in combination with the custom connectors serious I was able to get my own function library working. Am looking forward to get custom connectors for Excel, altough I read it’s not very likely….
Anyway thanks a lot!

Sigh… i wish this commentary box would have a preview feature (or a delete function). Last attempt now:

You can use
or

in your description or longdescription to achieve line breaks.

Als Antwort auf Leif Lange. Sorry, obviously my reply above did not escape the HTML tags properly. I hope this will work now: You can use <br&gt or </p&gt in your description or longdescription to achieve line breaks.

Hi all,

I found that both description, and longdescription fields support some HTML tags. So you can use , or in your text for line breaks, as well as a few other tags to format your text.

Cheers,
Leif

This is an unbelievably helpful series of articles and has been so helpful in adding polish to various functions I have created. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a clear and concise way.

Als Antwort auf Martin East. Hi Martin, usually Character.Fromnumber(10) does the trick. If you e. g. write = "long text" & Character.FromNumber(10) & "even longer" you get two lines in return. But this doesn't seem to work in the longdescription of the metadata record. Maybe special characters are not interpreted in this area? I am not sure. Cheers, Lars

Hi Lars, have you found a way to get Documentation.LongDescription to display with newlines? I tried adding #(lf) into the text, but the newlines are simply ignored. For example, I wanted to write something like:

This function returns:
false if blah blah
true if blah blah
null if blah blah
error if blah blah

But the newlines are simply ignored.

Thanks for your advice. Alaaf !
