 Description   

It seems that the names of apps and groups on the Apps screen are all escaped: I can't seem to use <br/>, unicode characters or
r and the like to force the rest of a string to flow to a new line.

It starts become necessary to support any such newline character. Which one, I basically don't care. It's quite difficult to come up with meaningful and short names and the inability to properly split them between lines starts to be a burden.

Reducing prio since generally we can live with non-breaking spaces (\u00A0) or soft hyphens (\u00AD) in message bundles.

@Mikaël Just to clarify: does this work in both app and group names? I thought you mentioned that at least soft hyphens only work in group names?

Comment by Mikaël Geljić [ 21/May/14 ]

@Andreas well it actually works in both! maybe for groups I had to do something special because they would never support multiple lines at all, but on apps it works like a charm.

I have an appgroup name which is bit long and can you let me know what would the best way to make it look better
1. Use soft hypens - If I use this option, what would be the property file name that I need to have
2. Custom style sheet - Currently app group definition doesnt support custom style sheet.
