Body

Does the inputs description param support line breaks? I tried with
or \n but none worked.
I would like to put more details in my inputs' descriptions and use line breaks to make them more readable.

As an example, I would like to be able to have something that looks like this when viewing my workflow input on Github Action UI :

Environment URL
This url will be used my the app
Production URL: ....
Development URL: ...

Currently, it looks like this:

As an example, Jenkins has support for this. I can add line breaks to my inputs' descriptions.

If you want it to be multiline you can do the following:

    description: |
      Text in the fist line.
      Text in the second line.
      Text in the third line.

If you want to split a long command with multiline you can do the following:

- name: Configure functions
  run: |
    command \
      parameter1="value1" \
      parameter2="value2" \
    ...    

Please, vote my answer as accepted if it helped you!

@monambike unfortunately, this doesn't work too, I tested it before posting this issue.

This seems like a very simple and useful feature. This, or the ability to write a proper description for the action itself seem trivially important and not supported.

Made my own workaround by appending empty unicode characters (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2800) until it made line breaks. Seems to hold up even if the user zooms.

works great. just ensure there's an actual space after your punction or word or else they'll be treated as one word even though they are blanks.
