Hi

I have a lot of infos to show on tooltip of a treeview

Like :  
line1 : blabla blabla  
line2 : blabla blabla  
line3 : blabla blabla

I would like to go to text to go next line and other stuff like that.

I tried “\n” does not work  
I tried html formatting, does not work.

Is there a solution ?

thanks

html formatting should work, it would be:

```auto
<html>blah blah blah <br> blah blah blah <br> blah blah blah
```

or you can create lists via html like:

```auto
<HTML>Instructions<BR><UL><LI>Step 1</LI><LI>Step 2</LI><LI>Step 3</LI></UL>
```

See page 487 in the manual (version 7.7 manual)
