I wan't to make it human-readable (!) when I have long text. Now that we are here how about sending html in the messages?

It is possible to pass HTML, but requires some extra coding to set content type. Comments For line breaks I think you have to add "\n" to your message, but that might break JSON, not sure.

I had to do it in my app. I dread the day I tell the Client how to do it. :-( Perhaps some day, I will look at the PHP to fix it for self-hosters. -- Niraj Comments It is a pain, yet it can be done with the \n characters.

I was just stuck with a 10 line long message which was actually non english and was RTL.....BAD EXPERIENCE!!! Thanks Niraj. I think we should work on some html for it. It can at least use the custom html type. Comments Wow it worked. Didn't break the JSON. Thanks Chris for the quick reply.
