Thanks. That sorts out the use of "\n". It doesn't of course sort out why "[[BR]]" only works a bit sometimes, but as I've got "\n" working I don't care about "[[BR]]" any more.

Your generated json string is incorrect. Your request with the incorrect json leads error response from XMLRPC plugin. >>> data = '{{ "params": [ {}, "{}", {{ "action": "leave" }}, true ], "method": >>> "ticket.update" }}' >> print(data.format(42, 'line 1\nline 2\n')) { "params": [ 42, "line 1 line 2 ", { "action": "leave" }, true ], "method": "ticket.update" } You should use json.dumps() rather than directly generating json string if you cannot implement it. >>> import json >>> ticketId = 42 >>> comment = 'line 1\nline 2\n' >>> data = {'params': [ticketId, comment, {'action': 'leave'}, True], >>> 'method': 'ticket.update'} >>> print(json.dumps(data)) {"params": [42, "line 1\nline 2\n", {"action": "leave"}, true], "method": "ticket.update"} -- Jun Omae <jun6...@gmail.com> (大前 潤) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
