Can I Put a paragraph in a macro's text?

I make macros to whisper to me my creature's abilities, so I don't have to open their sheet and look for it.  Some are fairly lengthy and I'd like to insert paragraphs to make it easier to read and find what I'm looking for.  The only way I've figured out is by putting a new "/w gm" before each paragraph I want; example: /w gm An erinyes has a 50 percent chance of summoning 3d6 spined devils, 1d6 bearded devils, or one erinyes. /w gm A summoned devil appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of its summoner, acts as an ally of its summoner, and can’t summon other devils. /w gm It remains for 1 minute, until it or its summoner dies, or until its summoner dismisses it as an action. /w gm [1d100]  But this makes each paragraph a seperate entry in chat, which I don't find helpful.  Is there a way to make a paragraph in a single message?

I haven't tested this, but you could try inserting <br> everywhere you want a line break and see if it will render correctly in chat.
The best way is to utilize a roll template. Roll templates are built into the character sheet template you are using for the game. Which sheet you are using will determine the available roll templates and the syntax for them.

Thanks for the responses.  <br> did not work, but the roll template does.  Didn't even know that was a thing, thanks!

Did some testing to see if I could do block text without the templates and this worked: /w gm {{An erinyes has a 50 percent chance of summoning 3d6 spined devils, 1d6 bearded devils, or one erinyes. A summoned devil appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of its summoner, acts as an ally of its summoner, and can’t summon other devils. It remains for 1 minute, until it or its summoner dies, or until its summoner dismisses it as an action. [[1d100]] }} Although it will print the {{ }} it stayed as a single block of text whispered to the GM:
Also, clarifying my comment for any others: Regardless of which character sheet template (if any) you are using, every game has access to the Default Roll Template (<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates#Default" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates#Default</a>).
