Do Azure Dev Ops Pipelines logging commands support multiline messages?

I'm looking at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/scripts/logging-commands?view=azure-devops&tabs=bash and I see you can add messages (that if integrated with GitHub can be posted as PR annotations) using the ##vso[task.logissue type=error]Something went very wrong. format.

I don't see anything about multiline messages. Does Azure Dev Ops support that? How can I add a multiline annotation.

Here the command that worked fine for me, it will replace '\n' line returns characters in your text :

Sed command will replace all '\n' with %0D%0A and add a final '\n' at the end of the text.

sed -z 's/\n/%0D%0A/g;s/,$/\n/'

You could add %0D%0A in your message to wrap lines of your log. For a long single line message, it looks like something as below: enter image description here

After add %0D%0A, 

##vso[task.logissue type=error]Something went very wrong.Add Workspace. %0D%0AIf Workspace Manager is empty, probably you didn't added one yet.%0D%0AClick on Add button ....

It change to below format：

enter image description here

For some other kind of error/warning message, you could also take a look at this useful blog-- Improving Logs in Azure DevOps Service with special ‘tags’
