[Solved] Linebreak into text area (questions) in Advanced quiz or other plugins

In a new app Advanced Quiz questions are long and sometimes include lettered options in the texts of questions. One line doesn't look nice with: "Question. (Choose two) a) Option 1 b) Option 2 c)Option 3...)", especially if it's really long. The plugin screenshot shows that it's obviously possible to start a new line: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i6dsxow2vr4czeu/Plugin%20screenshot.JPG?dl=0 I'd really appreciate any advice of how to do it

Solved: \n does the trick. E.g. "Question. (Choose two) \na) Option 1 \nb) Option 2 \nc)Option 3..." - looks much better. Maybe somebody will need it one day

Yep. That is how I handle newlines.

Important: when you use this trick via the CP (with any plugin), every time you change anything in the screen you have to re-type every backslash!

I noticed this too. I usually enter a placeholder instead of question, all the answers and explanation, enter all this and then I click on the question in the list and make changes in the pop-up window. Otherwise backslashes disappear.
