I know Apple prefers that help tags be short and simple, but I have a
need to display help tags that have multiple lines of information. I
know it can be done, I've seen it in various Cocoa apps, but I can't
find any docs on how to do it. Is there a special escape character or
something?

P.S. I'm using IB to set the help tags for my interface objects.

I "compose" my tooltips in TextEdit, copy them onto the pasteboard, go to IB, and paste them into the inspector's textfield. If there's a better way to do this, I'm not aware of it. That little textfield on the inspector could sure stand being bigger, too -- I find I'm constantly resizing my inspector to be able to see my tooltips (at least the first line of them :->), and then making it smaller again so it doesn't take up so much of my screen...
Hmm, sounds like a bug worth logging...
