Multi-line LocalizedString in Azure AD B2C custom policy

Question

Multi-line LocalizedString in Azure AD B2C custom policy

Staisha Neville 30

Hello, I would like to have a multi-line error message in this localized string, which is part of my Azure AD B2C Custom Policy.

<LocalizedString ElementType="ErrorMessage" StringId="UserMessageIfClaimsPrincipalDoesNotExist">Oops! Your direct login attempt failed. If you signed up through a social account such as Google or Microsoft, please use that method instead. Please use the "Work or school Microsoft account" option if you use a university or work email address.</LocalizedString>

I would like there to be a new line after every period. I have tried using <br/>, , and \n, none of these were able to create a new line. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Can you please share the example you are using? Have you tried adding &NewLine or just &#10?

@Marilee Turscak-MSFT what does this mean: "have you tried adding"? Adding what? The example I am using is on the Azure-Samples GitHub page here: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-b2c-custom-policy-starterpack/blob/main/SocialAndLocalAccounts/TrustFrameworkLocalization.xml Specifically, line 98:

<LocalizedString ElementType="ErrorMessage" StringId="UserMessageIfClaimsPrincipalDoesNotExist">We can't seem to find your account.</LocalizedString>

I changed the error message to this instead:

<LocalizedString ElementType="ErrorMessage" StringId="UserMessageIfClaimsPrincipalDoesNotExist">Oops! Your direct login attempt failed. If you signed up through a social account such as Google or Microsoft, please use that method instead. Please use the "Work or school Microsoft account" option if you use a university or work email address.</LocalizedString>

This new message looks like this on the sign in page:

I would like it to look like this instead:

Notice how there's a new line and return carriage after the first sentence (Oops! Your direct login attempt failed.) Could you give me any ideas as to how I could do this?

Sorry it looks like the markdown cut out the new lines I was trying to add.
I meant to write, Have you tried adding &NewLine or just &#10 (without the )?

If you include carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) characters in a string and apply the CSS style white-space: pre-line, it will work.
