I agree, but still I'm unsure \n should be accepted in the tag just making the text flow into the following line when it doesn't fit in the current one should be enough... but I can't think of any strong reason to avoid \n except simplicity as things like dump assume a single line.
It would be nice if there was a way to see that there are more lines than what is visible... not sure how that can be done without an extra scroll bar, but that I think would be a bad idea. But I should try the patch before commenting so much :) uriel
