How do I add multiple lines to a page-footer in Quarto book?

Description

I would like to add another line to the page-footer in a Quarto book.
In my yml file I have...

`page-footer:

center:
      - text: "first line of text"
      - text: "second line of text"`     

This seems to align the text horizontally. Any other ideas?

Use multiline yaml markup.

page-footer:
  center: |
    One line.
    A second line.

Thanks!
That still doesn't work for me.
Is the 'pipe' one space from the colon after center?

Copy the code use the copy button.

That still doesn't work for me.

It's not really helpful.
Could you elaborate a bit.

They still just show up as one line. I even copied the code from your reply.

This is my code...

page-footer:
    background: light
    center: |
      One line.
      A second line.

I'm also using Rstudio.

I added
at the end of the first line and it worked!

page-footer:
    background: light
    center: |
      One line. <br>
      A second line.

@jbrick55 In Markdown, you need two new lines to start a new paragraph:

page-footer:
    background: light
    center: |
      One line.
      
      A second line.

(if you do it this way, make sure the blank line in between is still indented up to where the text starts!)

Inserting a manual HTML line break with <br> might also be fine for your purposes, though!
