Format macro with newline?

Been searching around and don't seem to be finding an answer to this... Let's say I have multi-line macro: [[1d20+10]] Attack! [[1d20+10]] Attack! [[1d20+10]] Attack! I want to ENSURE that each line starts with a newline character (because your avatar name can screw with formatting). Something like: \n [[1d20+10]] Attack! \n [[1d20+10]] Attack! \n [[1d20+10]] Attack! What is the roll20 way to do this? Thanks ahead of time for the feedback.

It looks like you have already done so. Simply place them on separate lines in the macro. It seems your question has more to do with the avatar name and formatting than separate lines. The avatar name appears every 6 lines. There is no way to change that behavior.

The avatar name appears every 6 lines. There is no way to change that behavior. That is my whole point. Since there is no way to change the avatar name behavior, is there a way for me to forcibly insert a newline? \n, \endl, something like that?

You are already inserting new lines for each attack roll. In your example you have 3 lines. What you are asking for is a new Avatar name for each new line rather than every 6 lines. As I mentioned, there is no way to change that. Perhaps you can post a suggestion regarding this.

I figured out a workaround: /me attacks three times <hit enter here leaving a space> [[1d20+10]] Attack! [[1d20+10]] Attack! [[1d20+10]] Attack! By putting in an emote at the start you will get a new Avatar prompt each time. By hitting enter to place a blank line between the emote and the first attack roll you get the first attack roll on the line below the Avatar.
excellent. I guess since there is no special newline character this is a good workaround. Thanks!
