Datacapture.cfg formatting

I'm trying to enter a description for a data entry field that extends beyond a single line, but can't figure out how to insert a line break. Does anyone know how I can insert a line break, or have more than one description line? I'm still on v4.5.

Thanks,
Dan . .

The <description> _should_ word-wrap automatically. Is this not working on your system?

Also, I believe you can use simple html in the <description>. You might need to wrap it in <![CDATA[ ... ]]>. So you can use <br>, etc.

The description text doesn’t wrap.

When I try the following..
<item name=”Content”>
<description>
testing <br/> one, two, three
</description>
<radio required="t">
<option label="Layout 1" value="1" selected="t"/>
<option label="Layout 2" value="2"/>
<option label="Layout 3" value="3"/>
</radio>
</item>
everything shows up on a single line minus the break command (it just disappears).. I tried using the CDATA tags, but then the break just displays in the line as regular text.

This description:



<description><![CDATA[

</description>

Renders like this on my system:

Sorry! I didn't notice your version in your first post. I never tried this back on 4.5--I'm not suprised it doesn't work there.
