Hi,  
I have two question about `xpack.security.loginAssistanceMessage`:  
1- How can I add a new line? I tried `<br/>` , `\` , `\n\n` and `\n*` but no luck.  
2- How can I customize the image size? I'm using `![name](URL)` format. Can I use HTML in markdown?

That component [is rendered](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/x-pack/plugins/security/public/authentication/login/components/login_form/login_form.tsx#L113-L121) using [ReactMarkdown](https://github.com/remarkjs/react-markdown#options) component. From [this issue](https://github.com/remarkjs/react-markdown/issues/273#issuecomment-466227614) I figured out you can add a break line:

```nohighlight
xpack.security.loginAssistanceMessage: >
   this is a test&nbsp;
   
   with a break

```

Mind that after the `@nsbp;` there are **two mandatory blank spaces**.

* * *

As for the second question, as far as I know, vanilla markdown does **not** support specifying the size of your images.
