Need to have new line after each full stop /formatting Paragraph

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 62
I need to get the new line after each full stop for this highlighted output values, i have tried with 
replace(coalesce(item()?['dst_majorfindings'], ''), '.', '.<br>') but this doesn't work in "Select" or "HTML table" actions, any idea to fix this ?
 
current result;- 
"Contributing Factor":
 
The sun was setting behind the mountains, casting a warm golden glow over the valley. Birds chirped their evening songs, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient oak trees. In the distance, a river sparkled as it wound its way through the landscape, reflecting the colors of the sky. It was a perfect moment of tranquility, a reminder of the simple beauty that nature offers every day.
 
Expected result:-

    I tried this 
    replace(item()?['Contributing Factor'],'.','. <br>')
     
    It gave the result in the flow: 
    Contributing Factor""The sun was setting behind the mountains, casting a warm golden glow over the valley. <br> Birds chirped their evening songs, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient oak trees. <br> In the distance, a river sparkled as it wound its way through the landscape, reflecting the colors of the sky. <br> It was a perfect moment of tranquility, a reminder of the simple beauty that nature offers every day. <br>"
      
    In which HTML action are you testing it in? I tried in HTML in outlook and it worked there.

    You describe 2 different cases:
     
    The line break character in Power Automate can be written as decodeUriComponent('%0A')
    E.g. within a Select:
    replace(item(), '.', concat('.', decodeUriComponent('%0A')))
     
     
    A line break is written as <br> in HTML, but is HTML encoded if it is inserted before conversion using the "Create HTML Table" action.
    So you have to do the conversion first and then the replacement with <br>.
    E.g.
    replace(body('Create_HTML_table'), '.', '.<br>')

    Inside select 
    replace(item(), '.', concat('.', decodeUriComponent('%0A')))
    doesnt work. It just showing the same paragraph without any formatting
