No, but this request is already on the wishlist
(http://midas.psi.ch/elog/wishlist.html) since some time. I added your vote.

Stefan,

Was just wondering about the status of the multi-line attributes in Elog, are 
they implemented in elog yet? If not is that something you are planning to do 
in the future?

many thanks

Paul

In order to have multi-line attributes, the whole format of the logbooks has to be
changed. I plan to use XML for the logbook format in the future. We would not have
any more one file per day, but one big file per logbook. I have already some XML
functionality in elog, but this one requires a major rewrite of the whole code. On
the other hand, searching etc. will become much faster afterwards. I plan to start
this development soon, but it might take quite some time, so don't expect it
before summer or fall.

Best regards,

  Stefan

Nope. Too many other things to do during my "day job".
