How to add linefeed or newline in description?

Hi,

This is RAM version is v7.2.0.1, I have a long string with line feeds characters in it to break the string into a few lines, I have it print the string out on the java console and it appears the linefeed works. But when assign it to newAsset.setDescription(String), on the web client, the description section appear not having any linefeeds or new lines, it appear to be one long string. I have tried both "\n" and "\r\n" and both failed to appear.

Thanks!

JR.

Have you tried encoding it in hex? 


                                                <ram>

                                                    BUILD_LABEL = ${build.label}


                                                    BUILD_URL = <a href='${build.url}' target='_blank' > Build Info<a>


                                                    SOURCE_REPOSITORY_ADDRESS = <a href='${src.repository}' target='_blank' > Source Repository<a>


                                                    BUILD_RESULT_UUID = ${build.id}


                                                    BUILD_DEFINITION_ID = ${build.def.id}


                                                </ram>

You can include HTML in your description. For a new line, you could use a <br> tag.

newAsset.setDescription("line 1<br>line 2");

Yes Sheehan, your suggestion works but not Chris's.
Thanks SheeHan



You can include HTML in your description. For a new line, you could use a <br> tag.

newAsset.setDescription("line 1<br>line 2");

No, sorry I didn't try it. It came straight out of one of the examples.

Silly me... :-)

Remember that on the web, the description is rendered as HTML ... so line feeds and such are ignored by the browser.
