Is it possible to use line break in theme description?

2 Views

I want to give linebreak on WordPress theme’s description in style.css (the one in here): 

/*
Theme Name: 
Theme URI: 
Description: 
Author: 
Author URI: 
Version:
Tags: 
*/

But it appears the formatting doesn’t allow any linebreak. When I tried writing on the line below it, the text won’t appear. I tried adding /n as a mean to add linebreak, but the /n/ wasn’t read as linebreak.

Is it not possible to add linebreaks in WordPress theme’s description? I think linebreaks may be useful when theme designer wants to outline something in points/bullets (what I’ve been trying; that is I want to outline several features of the theme).

  1. Is it not possible to add linebreaks in WordPress theme’s description?

    No.

    Sorry, to say – the question is valid, but I can’t come up with a longer answer. Wouldn’t make sense to explain the internals on this topic 🙂

  2. According to WP Source code you can add some HTML to your description: <a>, <abbr>, <acronym>, <code>, <em>, <strong>, but no elements with the display: block element.
    n and <br> do not work.
    No way to add a line break, but possible to make it look nicer with HTML elements mentioned above.
