How to include "carriage return" in a tag

[Jossie]

Hello,

to document the image processing history I use the tag "ifd0:imagehistory" and it works fine. However, the tag gets quite long so I want to include a "carriage return" in the text string to make it more readable if I export the tag to a text file. How could I do that?

Hi Hermann,

This is explained in FAQ 21.

Hello Phil,

thank you for pointing me to FAQ21. Unfortunately I am working with the Windows command shell :-( .

Look at option B under that FAQ.

I tend to use html entities when doing this.  So the command would include something like -E -imagehistory="Line 1
Line 2"

Of course, there's also the C style option, which would be -ec -imagehistory="Line 1\rLine 2"

Then there's always the -api Filter option listed at the start of the FAQ.

All of these work on Windows.
