Semantic MediaWiki 2.2.0 introduced the "sep" separator parameter for the table and broadtable result format. Thus one may use individual separators like "," or ";" etc. to distinguish between different resulting values within a table cell instead of "<br />" which was imperatively used in previous versions of Semantic MediaWiki and is still used as the default separator.1

Example without a specified sep parameter (default)

{{#ask:
 [[Category:City]]
 [[Located in::Germany]] 
 |?Has point of interest=Point of interest
 |mainlabel=City
 |sort=Has point of interest
 |headers=plain
}}

This produces the following output:
