Hi Holger, On 08/03/26 08:52 +0100, Holger Wansing said ... > I don't know if I understand correctly: do you think that creating > a newline with '\n' does not work in debconf templates? No, it does not. If you add a '\n' in the debconf templates it will turn up as '\\n' in the po/templates.pot file after debconf-updatepo is run. > It is often done this way, I attach a example we had recently on the > l10n german list for reviewing. I looked at the templates file for kexec-tools to check how this is possible. It looks like if an additional space is added before the line in the debconf templates file, the po/templates.pot file will have an added '\n' and each of them will be on a new line. Thank you for sending the example :) Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/
