This a translatiom from my post in the german forum. You can find the original post here: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Dokumentation/Profi-Tip-Textsteuereung-mit-Escape-Sequenzen/m-p/...
Problem: In objects, I usually only have the option of entering text content in text fields without being able to control it (e.g. wrap to next line)
Solution: Escape sequences in the text line
The following sequences work
\n next line
\t horizontal tab
This makes the following possible, for example: the text line reads
Revi ELT\nWidth:\t60\nHeight:\t60
You can see the result in the screenshot
Incidentally, the control characters can simply appear in the text without any additional spaces.
Operating system used: Windows

Thanks, @torben_wadlinger!
Knew about \n, but not about \t.
