I've not seen or heard of a way to do what you asked for, and I went on a hunt for just that about a year ago.
You can, if you wish, visit admin:timeline in the ui and check "allow block markup ..." This will let you use <br>s and such in your commit messages, but the raw HTML will still show up in the cli timeline. (This next bit is slightly preachy - my apologies in advance) I've found over time that this limitation has caused me to habitually use the -m flag with an inline commit message. This has limited my commits to only what I can describe in one line, and forced me into a workflow where I use small branches much more frequently, grouping small changes Into coherent sets. I can't say whether this limitation is by design or by happy accident -- but either way it has resulted in my using fossil in a more structured way, giving me a better and cleaner picture of my code over time. So a net win for me.
