Adding new line in xml strings
In XML, you can add a new line using the following methods:
-
Using the
&
character: You can use the&
character followed by the#
symbol and the ASCII code for a newline character (10
for a Unix-style newline or13
for a Windows-style newline). For example:<element> </element>
This will render as a newline character in the resulting XML document.
-
Using the
&#x
notation: You can use the&#x
notation followed by the hexadecimal code for a newline character (0A
for a Unix-style newline or0D
for a Windows-style newline). For example:<element>
</element>
This will also render as a newline character in the resulting XML document.
-
Using a CDATA section: You can wrap your XML content in a CDATA section, which allows you to include special characters like newline characters without having to escape them. For example:
<element><![CDATA[ This is a new line ]]></element>
This will render as a single line of text with a newline character in the resulting XML document.
-
Using a text node with a newline character: You can create a text node with a newline character using the
text()
function. For example:<element> <text>This is a new line</text> </element>
This will render as a single line of text with a newline character in the resulting XML document.
Note that when working with XML, it's generally a good idea to use a consistent newline character throughout your document, and to avoid using newline characters in attribute values or element names.
