Multiline Tool Tips

[danbert8]

Howdy. I'm new to the Forums (and fairly new to Filemaker) and I have started putting helpful tooltips on a lot of my buttons. The user guide online states that tooltips wrap at a certain point, but I was wondering if it was possible to put in a manual return/line break into the tooltip to make it have multiple lines. It doesn't make sense to have a super wide tooltip if it can be condensed down to a smaller horizontal tooltip that is a bit taller.

Anyone know if this is possible similar to an HTML <br> tag or a &#13 or &#10 character?

"text" & ¶ & "more text"

or 

List ( 
"text" ; 
"more text" 
)

Or just:

"text¶more text"

Also, just a return or shift-return will work inside a quoted string here.

Or, don’t use a button and a tooltip. Use a popover button and put that info in the popover with the button that runs the script in the popover.

That doesn't work for me. It shows as a space.

You're right. Works on Windows, not on Mac.

The List() option worked wonderfully. Thank you for the help!
