I've looked around be can't find a definitive answer to this question.
Is there a parameter type for inkscape extensions that would present the user with a multi-line input. The type "string" presents a single line that doesn't respond to pressing "enter" to generate a newline.
Thanks, Robert

What I remember is that indeed we don't have that. If you want to add it: it is relatively easy to add such a "multiline" parameter using /src/extension/param/string.cpp as a template.

Or it might be better to add a ui hint to get expanded entry. Some of our other types like radiobutton do this.
