Multi-line HTML Notes

Is there a place where html_notes limitations are documented?

If I include

or even
elements, I receive an error:

Exception: Request failed for https://app.asana.com returned code 400. Truncated server response: {“errors”:[{“error”:“xml_parsing_error”,“message”:“XML is invalid”

For instance
This variable works when added to the task payload:
let htmlBody = "<body>This is a test task<b> that was created</b> using code. <b>New line of task:</b> with additional information.</body>"

These two fail with the error above:
This variable works when added to the task payload
let htmlBody = "<body>This is a test task<b> that was created</b> using code.<br><br><b>New line of task:</b> with additional information.</body>"

or

let htmlBody = "<body><p>This is a test task<b> that was created</b> using code.</p><p><b>New line of task:</p> with additional information.</body>"

Is there a way to create multi-line HTML notes?

Correction on second htmlBody variable. The closing paragraph is correctly at the end of the string, before the body element. I was editing in line. Below is correct.

let htmlBody = "<body><p>This is a test task<b> that was created</b> using code.</p><p><b>New line of task: with additional information.</p></body>"

@anon69146899,

See:

And specifically the list in Reading Rich Text. I don’t think you can use several of the tags you include because they’re not in the list.

Hope that helps,

Thanks. So, in short, “\n” will create a
and “\n\n” a new paragraph.

I just tested it and that worked, which will allow me to accomplish what is needed. I’ll play with some of the other available options as needed.

Thanks again.

Hi, Matthew. Can you write your example with a working “\n” as a new paragraph?
