Text Format - Google chat Webhook

Does anyone know how to format text when sending a message via Google Chat webhook? The app works perfectly, but when we send a message in plain text only, we need to receive more aesthetically pleasing messages.

I tried using <br> or \n, but they don't work as described in the Google Workspace documentation.

Hi @Rquiros23 

I wasnt able to make the new line character (\n) work. howeve I was able to create a multiline Splunk field in the result which *did* work!

You can see where I changed it from \n to multiline.

This is what my search/alert looks like:
