    Hi,

    I have created a table manually and would like to have one column with a multi line format where I can choose the line breaks. I want it to look like this:

    95% Equity Fund A
    5% Equity Fund B

    Currently it is just a string and I cannot control the break.

    95% Equity Fund A 5% Equity
    Fund B

    Can this be arranged?

    Hi, Monica.

    Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

    I will explain how adding new lines in our plugin can be done with the current capabilities.

    -

    1. If you use a 'multi-line String' column with a 'multi-line Editor' input type :

    So, if this is a Manual table, or Imported table from a file,  during table generation, you will be able to choose for each column which Data type it will be.

    If you set the column from the start as a "multi-line String" , it gets saved in your database as "TEXT";

    then you can use 'multi-line Editor', as the Editor Type,

     and with a combination of pressing "shift+ENTER" you will be able to make new lines like that, 

    without the need for <br> HTML tags.

    ( If you already made the column as one-line string, you can go do the database, find this table and change the column type from VARCHAR to TEXT,  which is a multi-line string).

    2.  Another way can be to use a "HTML Editor" , and there you can just press "Enter" for new lines.

    In HTML Editor you can just press "Enter" and it makes new lines, while in the background code it creates HTML markup, with paragraphs.

    3. And finally, if you use Simple Tables, there you can use HTML Editor as well, for making new lines with "Enter", 

    and it adds custom HTML in the cell, but it renders only the text in the cell.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions.
