Microsoft Lists: Show more that 5 lines of text in view (Rich Text with images/links)

Question

Hi,

text columns with multiple lines of text show only 5 lines in list view. The column in question is configured as rich text with all rich text features enabled (like images and hyperlinks).

So I added this JSON to make the list show all of the text contents:

{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-...", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "@currentField", "style": { "white-space": "normal", "padding": "11px 0" } }

This works fine for plain text. But we use rich text. Now there is a lot of <div>, <br> and <a href... shown in List view:

Has anyone an idea how to show the content of that column fully with html (hyperlinks, bold text and so on)?

Thanks in advance
