Is it possible to create a Return within the text of a chat window message?

I would like to make each sentence start a new line within the chat window for a clearer read. Is this possible? ``Examples of this power are as follows:`` You make a flower blossom. You light or stuff a campfire. You create the sound or smell of a small animal. You predict the weather for the next 24 hours. Other effects can be obtained that, at most, grant the help action or serve to distract such as creating smoke.

Yes. For regular chat, use a shift-return. Note that only the first line is affected by any chat commands such as /w or /em. Pasted paragraph will act as if you had used shift-return. You can also wrap an entire message in multiple brackets. All lines will be affected by an initial chat command. If you use double brackets, they will display in the message. Triple brackets will not display and will keep all lines under the banner of the original command. To give you more freedom, use a roll template. Specifics will vary from template to template, but most templates that have a text field will take returns and shift-returns.
Hey keithcurtis, This is what I am working with. Your solution may not work with PowerCards, but this is what I am trying to accomplish.: [Scroll](<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/86/28/b7/8628b7da5aa9c9c21c4e22a52406d667.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/86/28/b7/8628b7da5aa9c9c21c4e22a52406d667.jpg</a>) [Magic Spell is cast](<a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/132799818/dhgXfM4s9OHf3OwxfiwXTw/med.jpg?1589042517.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.d20.io/images/132799818/dhgXfM4s9OHf3OwxfiwXTw/med.jpg?1589042517.jpg</a>) !power {{ &nbsp;--whisper|GM &nbsp;--name|Transmutation - Druidcraft - V,S &nbsp;--leftsub| &nbsp;--rightsub|30 ft Range &nbsp;--soundfx|_audio,play,nomenu|Magic Effect &nbsp;--***@{selected|token_name} manifests a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural power, within range!***&nbsp;&nbsp; ``Examples of this power are as follows:``&nbsp; You make a flower blossom.&nbsp; You light or stuff a campfire.&nbsp; You create the sound or smell of a small animal.&nbsp; You predict the weather for the next 24 hours.&nbsp; Other effects can be obtained that, at most, grant the help action or serve to distract such as creating smoke. }}

Sorry, I know practically nothing about Powcards. If you are trying to do something specifically within that framework, your best bet is to post directly to that feedback thread. You could try putting in %NEWLINE% between each "paragraph", but keeping them in the same line.
Thanks Keith, That type of solution is what I am looking for, but in this case it doesn't seem to do anything. I do appreciate the tip though! Barry
