Line breaks in ir.message

[Xavi]

Hi,
I want to send an email from the code, it has a long body, and im facing a problem with the line breaks, which are being ignored.
The message is allocated at the message.xml, and I don’t know how to specify line breaks, as manually enters:

<record model="ir.message" id="message_id">
     <field name="text">line
			            break
     </field>
</record>

are just getting ignored, with \n:

<field name="text">line\nbreak</field>

The result I get is literally “line\nbreak”, and with <br/> I cannot even create the record because the tag is not supported.

to get the message im doing:
body=gettext('my_module.message_id')

How can I get the message with the correct format?
Thanks.

Hi, this way it should work

<record model="ir.message" id="message_id">
     <field name="text">line
break</field>
</record>

Not really, it does if you use this message for a warning or an error, but for an email the line break is still getting ignored

Because on email line break is <br/> and not \n which is what is stored on the message.

But for emails you should be able to write the HTML as is using a translatable report and include the report content as part of the message. You can use the get_email function to render a report as an email.

Hope this helps!

I solved it just by replacing “\n” with “<br/>”, maybe its not the correct way but its simple, in case someone faces the same problem.
Thanks for helping guys.
