Hi Christoph --

> I would have expected

Then my comparison with Markdown seems to have mislead you. Sorry. Don't overthink it. It's just a low-hanging fruit. It's way simpler than starting to implement hide/show capabilities in ProportionalLayout ;-) 

Best,

Hi Marcel,

Markdown sounds *very* appealing, but my personal preference would be to think through this thoroughly rather than starting with a single syntax for a rather special use case. For instance, I would have expected `- ' to map to a (not yet existing) EnumerationAttribute with an indented bullet point (•). I would prefer to collect more use cases before going into the implementation of such an API. Just my 2 cents. :-)

Best,
Christoph

Hi all --

If you want to, we can add a very simple portion of Markdown to parse it into a list morph in the dialog. Just match for hyphens at the beginning of two or more lines:

Hello!
- This
- is
- a
- list

The dialog could show 3 lines by default and the rest via scrolling. Is this too much magic?

Best,
Marcel

Hi all,

these are nested strings via #format:. :-) The message actually looks like this:



Do you have any other change requests to the message? :-)

I agree with Chris here; though the split handling of the 1/more versions is nice.

As for the version name truncation, a nicer solution would be for the notifier UI to have a scrollbar if is it needed. And while fantasising, if there is more than one version to report using a UI list would be nice, especially since it would provide for a scrollbar in the eventuality that many items need listing.

Design simplicity: It was developed on a shoe-string budget.
