RE: carriage return in @precinct

GBS would like the printing of the base precinct using the @precinct macro to incorporate carriage returns triggered by some control character in the base precinct label.  The control character is only to be displayed in the base precinct editor and the tree and list views but no reports or ballots.

 

I think we would have to go with full rich text attachments for precincts (and probably by extension districts) to do this.  Trying to deal with control character hacks all over the place would make a serious mess.  Going to rich text would be a big deal, and probably not worth it without some other application for the change.

 

What is the motivation here?  Perhaps we can solve the problem another way.  Give an example.  Is it just formatting?
