Displaying line breaks in the response text

Question

I use Swagger UI v2.2.0. I have a RESTful method which returns plain text. I want to display this text with line breaks.

At the moment, the returned text contains new li

Answer 1

This is currently not possible due to a documented bug in Swagger UI. Reference:

Inconsistent Markdown Newlines #2981

Bug in Model (Definition) Description with newline characters #3078

The second Issue listed, #3078 contains some discussion on overriding the styles used to render that part of the UI, but results appear inconsistent.

Note: I have subscribed to those issues and will update the answer and/or flag to close as no longer relevant when it is resolved.
