Im having an issue with the event node in workflows ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/3/3660e6f2a475f4856df8f8d6031e6ce7fb9c2488.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/2/2395c97098031994db98ba41ed030c99119253b3.png) creating an event with a \n in it does not escape to a new line but for some reason create a single space in the actual event ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/9/9d4dfcf8124e120cb211ab799fcd9534f229dc58.png) although you can manually add newlines in the message box of the event node and that works ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/d/d28c0706e3d1ca1810b615c8ee5e96ee15f2869e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/9/9a5c63ee6b7733101e093143e6d57a04c1f7294c.png) ---

There are two things going on: 1. Browsers do not interpret `\n` as a newline. So while your message may include a newline character, it will not be rendered. 2. The Message Template field on the Create Event Node supports [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/). Behind the scenes, your sections of text are converted to HTML paragraph tags, which are then correctly rendered by the browser on different lines. To get a line break in the resulting event, I recommend using the Create Event Node and using the Markdown [Line Break syntax](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#line-breaks) to get your newlines (two or more spaces at the end of a line). ---

So im back because it doesnt seem to have worked ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/0/014a9859a8fde59fe7c41064dbeed76fd6a6dbf5.png) in the message in the payload you can see it has two spaces in it (one is highlighted and one is not) however when it renders it doesnt include a new line and only displays one space ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/d/db2f30f44b68786c50497a672859d600778ca350.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/8/87770d44ab6b886e4246229363896c2c6a14a0a1.png) in the html of the page it does display as two spaces ---

I can’t tell from your screenshots where you’re viewing the description, but here’s a test event I created and what it looks like when viewing the result: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/6/6978a921aaf212936249047cf83b7cf1577beca7.png) I highlighted the two spaces at the end of the first line. And here’s the Event when viewed in the platform: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/1/1b1a1b848a0bbf877bc591be7e75226e06ff330e.png) ---

The entered text for the description is entirely from the payload ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/d/d05e2c5aad16c74f25433f4d1b66d6d5d0e52ca3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/7/79458207f4671a70aa1c25886b16d40a58a925d4.png) the message on the event node response mirrors the inclusion of two space ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/7/75611df4778eb3f2db4d143dad37cc1aa3139338.png) and so does the html ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/2/23dc81ca1186b0b370ff7b4ad60bf44b674b7abf.png) but the actual box does not ---

I see. You’re viewing in CPF. What’s stored on the event is exactly what was typed in the field. The platform UI passes that through a markdown renderer when it’s displayed. CPF does not. We had not considered markdown when creating the CPF. It would be a good feature to add. You’ll have to now switch to putting HTML in the Event Create Node and making a slight change to the CPF so that your HTML is not escaped. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/6/69b965b69679eea28f9ce400418f90eabd2a879d.png) Then edit the Experience Page `cpf-page-event-details` and modify line 79 (the exact line number may be different on your version). Old line: ```auto
Message:
{{pageData.event.message}}
``` New line: ```auto
Message:
{{{pageData.event.message}}}
``` The only change is to surround `pageData.event.message` with triple curly braces (instead of double curly braces). That tells Handlebars to **not** escape any HTML in finds in that value. More details on Handlebars escaping can be found [here](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/expressions.html#html-escaping). ---
