Hi AppVeyor Team,

Can you please advise how I can supply multi-line "Release description" value for GitHub Deployment?

Please see how "Release description" field look at GitHub - attached.

Thank you,

   You can use \n (\\n) in description setting which is replaced with a new line symbol on deploy.

   Thanks! + I'm also trying to use <br> as GitHub is supposed to support HTML markup partially

   One simple thing I failed to do by now is to set "Release description" field using $(my_variable). Perhaps I should be using {my_variable} or {{my_variable}} notation?

   $(variable) notation should work, see example: https://github.com/flet-dev/flet/blob/main/.appveyor.yml#L172-L178

   Maybe I should set variables in PowerShell differently, and change “$myvariable=xyz” to “$env:myvariable=xyz”?

   Then use “$(myvariable)” for GitHub deployment without env prefix?

   Absolutely, $env:myvariable="xyz" is the correct way of setting env vars.
