Is there any way to produce a multi line script without the first line return generating a new script. I want to send a list of item to a specific player but all that happens is after the first line it is sent as GM to all players. Any suggestions?

Wrap your message in double brackets: /w Bob {{Hey Bob, You are now a werewolf Don't tell the rest of the party}} If typing this instead of copy-pasting, use shift return to put in a line break without triggering the Send.
Ooh this seems handy, I'll have to remember this. Thank you @keithcurtis!

Hey, Keith! KEITH! *waves enthusiastically* You should check out this really clever tip about wrapping in triple braces ! It was contributed by.... oh..... oh dear... Also, you can use %NEWLINE%: two%NEWLINE%lines I think Rainbow dug that one up, from memory.

All the tips above, and more, about formatting macro output are listed here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macro_Guide#Formatting" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macro_Guide#Formatting</a> Hmm, currently tricks are just linked there, but copying over examples could really improve the guide. Maybe should break off Macro/Formatting into a separate page, there are plenty of good tricks... Also, you can use %NEWLINE%: I think Rainbow dug that one up, from memory. For once it wasn't Keith, Oosh, or RainbowCoder who figure out a new macro trick, was a Kyle E. who stumbled upon it.
