Hi, we have some things logging to custom gateway logs using system.util.getLogger()

Some messages are a bit messy, is there any way to add a new line to a message? Or other tricks for maybe pretty printing an object?

I’ve tried \n, \r, and `<br />` but no dice.

From the gateway web page, no. But `\n` will show new lines correctly in the wrapper log.
