How to format text in vscode.notify?

for example, '\n', i tried using it for line breaks, but it didn't work.

result 👇

(note: "Add newline", "Add" is the content get from register)

That's a vscode limitation. AFAIK, newlines aren't supported in vscode.window.showInformationMessage. Some limited markdown is supported, and clickable URLs are possible, I think.

That's sad, I was going to use it to show the register contents when pressing <leader>".
Do you have any other ideas to implement it? 👇

Yes, just use Nvim's :echomsg . This will print in the vscode Output view, which is the entire point of the Output view. It makes no sense to use vscode notifications for showing large amounts of text, instead of the Output view.
