Is there a limit to the number of lines a macro can display?

I am struggling to make a simple attack macro (with substantial effects) work. Here is the macro in question: ?{What Weapon?| Mace, /em Attacks with Mace **Attack:** [[1D20cs>18cf<4 + (@{hth_strike})]] **Damage:** [[5d6]] MD **Effects:** Target saves vs stun of [[16]] or suffers [[-8]] strike/parry/dodge, and has half attacks and speed for [[2d4]] melees (cumulative hits increase duration). On stuns number 5+, there is a 42% (Stun Roll: [[1d100]]) chance of being knocked unconscious for [[2d4]] melees. | Knuckle Duster, /em Attacks with Knuckle Duster **Attack:** [[1D20cs>18cf<4 + (@{hth_strike})]] **Damage:** [[5d6]] MD **Effects:** Target saves vs stun of [[16]]. On failure, target is unconscious. On success, target is [[-2]] attacks, [[-8]] to strike/parry/dodge, -50% speed for [[2d4]] melees. | Throwing Knife, /em Throws a Knife **Attack:** [[1D20cs>18cf<4 + (@{hth_strike})]] **Range:** [[960]] feet. **Damage:** [[4d6]] MD. **Effects:** Automatically returns to thrower after finishing their next attack.} The third option works fine, but the first two have their effect lines cut off only after a few words. Am I just trying to make a macro do too much?
Nevermind! The commas were the issue. Although I'd kind of like for them to stick around, erasing them isn't too much of an issue.

Man I hate special characters on these forums... PITA ?{What Weapon?| Mace, /em Attacks with Mace **Attack:** [[1D20cs>18cf<4 + (@{selected|hth_strike})]] **Damage:** [[5d6]] MD **Effects:** Target saves vs stun of [[16]] or suffers [[-8]] strike/parry/dodge, and has half attacks and speed for [[2d4]] melees (cumulative hits increase duration).

Thanks! You saved my precious commas!
