How to make a String with a line break?

Question

I want to insert a line break into a strhing...i am trying to do this using a Stringbuffer the following way:
name = new StringBuffer().append("something").append('\n').append("else").toString();
but it doesnt' seem to be working.
any suggestions??

Answer 1

that was just an example for testing purposes...if
you read my posts.....
i said:
"i am passing a string to my corel template creator
which is made in java and creates a template in Corel
Draw.
but when the string is being passed to the template
creator i want it to be able to distinguish whether
the string is supposed to be 2 lines or 1."
i see zero correlation between that and HTML
AndrewYour posts thus far strongly suggest that this text will utimately be HTML that will be rendered by a browser. I don't know what this Corel template is, but based on the other stuff you've said, I assumed it was some sort of HTML page template.
If the text will ultimately be HTML that is rendered by a web browser, then the Corel stuff is irrelevant (unless the Corel template is a JSP or other dynamic page generator that lets you specify by some other means where to put line breaks, in which case you need to look at Croel's docs), and you need to insert <br> or <p> or use <pre> tags.
If the Corel template is some sort of Java widget and you won't be rendering HTML with a web browser, then look at the docs for the Corel template, or contact Corel tech support.
