Is it possible to use indentions in Skyrim's quest log entries?

I want to write a wide description for one of my quests, but I've ran into the log entries' limitations - I'm not allowed to use indentions so I can't split the written text into several paragraphs. And because of that the descriptions is unreadable when it has more then 7-10 sentences. Plus I can't saparate the parts of the written based on their meanings.

So I thought it might be a way to avoid that problem by using some kind of good-quest-log-entry mod or plugin.

Is there any modder's tools or anything else to get my goal somehow?

I know it might sound strange, but have you thought about inserting something vague into the journal (they all are vague for me after all) and putting your whole description into a message box that would show after reaching the stage? It would like a little... well... story. I'm not sure if you'll like this idea, just trying to help.

Can you give me an example in code?

Create a message object and type what you want into it, then in your quest stage put MyMessage.show(). Make sure you fill the property 'MyMessage' with the message you have created.

 

Not sure what formatting you can do in a message box but try it and see.

Formatting in a MB fits fine, at least for my needs. But it's still MB and isn't very hmm.. handy, yes for the player.

I think that wouldn't be convenient for the player, for myself at least. Log entry decriptions is okay but it only needs more space for formatting.
