I want to force muliple lines of text on buttons, through the text prop. I tried the old html method that worked in vision. the button will give me multiple lines, but it also shows all the html commands between the \<\> brackets. how do I do this? ---

> [@Multiline button in perspective](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/multiline-button-in-perspective/65632/2): > > It's a bit so-so, but make your property window narrow enough for the text prop of the button to show the ellipsis (...) and then you can add line breaks in there. You'll then also need to add the style.whiteSpace: pre style as well ---
