How to display a multivalue token, delimited by HTML line break, within a dashboard HTML block (so that each token value is on its own line)?
I have a MultiSelect input, I want to display all the values in a html block; delimited by new line/line break.
I can not get the html to render the line break, just prints it as plain text. How can I delimit my multivalue input by html line break and display the token in a html block?
Here is my test dashboard:
<form>
<label>Multiselect delimit by Line Break</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="multiselect" token="app_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>App</label>
<choice value="Value1">Name1</choice>
<choice value="Value2">Name2</choice>
<choice value="Value3">Name3</choice>
<delimiter><br/></br></delimiter>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<html>
<p>Display test 1: $app_token$</p>
<p>Display test 2: $app_token|h$</p>
<p>Display test 3: $app_token|n$</p>
<p>Desired output from app_token:</p>
<p>Name1<br></br>Name2<br/></br>Name3</p>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
</form>

After some googling, it appears you need to use some javascript to accomplish this. Look at this previous answers post for details.

Unfortunately, my company does not currently allow us to use javascript.
I appreciate the link though, I'll try this in a local installation.

If you find another way, please be sure to post the answer and accept it.
But, I'd say you should avoid crafting HTML from within a Splunk dashboard. You may consider asking your more general question, something like "I have this data/input/etc and I'd like it to be represented such that this, that, and the other are easily digested". It helps to have some flexibility in terms of what it looks like, so long as the end goal of efficient representation is accomplished.

The initial pasting of my test dashboard foo-barred around the html line break tags.
This one will demonstrate what I'm after without errors:
<form>
<label>Multiselect delimit by Line Break</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="multiselect" token="app_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>App</label>
<choice value="Value1">Name1</choice>
<choice value="Value2">Name2</choice>
<choice value="Value3">Name3</choice>
<delimiter><br></br></delimiter>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<html>
<p>Display test 1: $app_token$</p>
<p>Display test 2: $app_token|h$</p>
<p>Display test 3: $app_token|n$</p>
<p>Desired output from app_token:</p>
<p>Value1</p>
<p>Value2</p>
<p>Value3</p>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
</form>
