I've not seen or heard of a way to do what you asked for, and I went
on a hunt for just that about a year ago.

You can, if you wish, visit admin:timeline in the ui and check "allow
block markup ..."

This will let you use <br>s and such in your commit messages, but the
raw HTML will still show up in the cli timeline.

(This next bit is slightly preachy - my apologies in advance)

I've found over time that this limitation has caused me to habitually
use the -m flag with an inline commit message. This has limited my
commits to only what I can describe in one line, and forced me into a
workflow where I use small branches much more frequently, grouping
small changes Into coherent sets.

I can't say whether this limitation is by design or by happy accident
-- but either way it has resulted in my using fossil in a more
structured way, giving me a better and cleaner picture of my code over
time. So a net win for me.

Best regards,

Themba
