Help with Macro for notes to myself

I've been trying to create a macro for notes to leave to myself including reminders for traps, descriptions, etc. I was able to create this macro to describe something from Curse of Strahd. &{template:default} {{name=Gates of Ravenloft}} {{The drawbridge ...}} {{A patch of green slime (see "Dungeon Hazards" i n chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide) ...}} It worked, but the text is all aligned to the right and it's driving me a little crazy. I spent about two or so hours trying to fix that. The closest I got was following the spell template, but the second piece of info is weird and the Components is still just hanging around. &{template:spell} {{name=Gates of Ravenloft}} {{description=The drawbridge appears sturdy...}} {{athigherlevels=A patch of green slime...}} Any ideas on how to get something a little simpler with multiple paragraphs?
It looks like you're using the D&D 5E by Roll20 sheet, so there are a few roll templates available.  The 'desc', 'traits', or 'npcaction' should all work for what you need. You can add line breaks into the 'description' field for any of them by just using carriage returns: &{template:traits} {{name=Gates of Ravenloft}} {{description=The drawbridge ... A patch of green slime (see "Dungeon Hazards" in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide) ...}}
I tried adding line breaks with, \n, <>, {{ }}, and Shift+Enter. The carriage return doesn't seem to be working.

Try using %NEWLINE% for your line breaks. example; &{template:traits} {{name=Gates of Ravenloft}} {{description=The drawbridge... %NEWLINE% A patch of green slime (see "Dungeon Hazards" in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide)... %NEWLINE% Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

That worked!

In the description field, a normal character return should start a new paragraph. I use this all the time. Try &{template:npcaction}
