In the past, in the Keyboard preference settings of Mac OS, I created text replacement abbs that contained a few lines like this one:
4563, New York street
New York
USA 43556
Now whenever I create a new one with lines, I get a n error message telling me that the format is not good.
Do you have an idea what I am doing wrong ?
iMac 27″, macOS 13.6
I can modify an existing abb that has multiple lines but I cannot create a new one. To see the error message, click the link (sorry it's in French):

I wonder if that comma in your example is making it fail?
Here is the error message:
No. I have other expansion abbs with commas.
Can you add a text replacement abb with many paragrahes ?
Sorry, I've not used macOS' text replacement feature. I use Tyinator from:
https://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/
To do that.
Thanks Radall ... why isn't Typinator available through the App Store?
The app doesn't seem to be synced through all devices, isn't it ?
if you give Apple's text replacement feature a try, keep me posted please.
Text replacement ...
