It would be great if we would be able to display multiline strings in the variable view. This would allow us to e.g. display the first three lines of a script.
Severity: normal → enhancement
Won't be fixed in VariablesView. Filed https://github.com/devtools-html/devtools-core/issues/807 for the ObjectInspector.

we could have a button that switch between the escaped string and a "rendered" one, and this could be used for all escaped string we render.
This would need to be subtle, maybe the button could only be displayed on hover or something, otherwise this would bloat the output
