Allow Text Formatting Tags in legend

[IlkaIllers1]

I have wished several times to manipulate the legend further by:

1. Adding multiple line breaks for long group layer names/layer names/headings

2. changing the font (italics, bold, colour, size, underlined)

3. other changes that could be achieved via Text Formatting Tags

Would it be possible to include this functionality?

You can add tags to add some text formatting in legend items (and graphic text). Here's an example:

This layer name in my table of contents...

results in this layer name in my legend:

More on that here. I don't know how to add line breaks, though (other than by using the description rather than the layer name or label). I agree that would be useful.

I agree. The ability to manually place line breaks in legend layer names, headings, and labels would be really nice. (We could do it in ArcMap).

A workaround can be to combine word wrapping and padding with extra spaces to force line breaks where you want them, as mentioned here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/carriage-return-hack-in-legend/m-p/1164807/highli...   

Its not pretty in your table of contents but better than converting the legend to graphics and manually formatting that way.

I also found that inserting this string where you need a line break in your legend can work: <fnt size="0">\n</fnt>. But the above method works better.
