Hm, but there are some new lines, so the ability to show new lines is there.
There are about 5 or 6 ancestor classes with "Create",  after the first 
is a new line, then all in one single block, and another new line in 
front of the last.

Looks like maybe the 2 with the newline, have a newline in the actual 
help text, so it is copied from there?
The newlines used by codetools: are the LineFeed or just #13?
