How to add linefeed or newline in description?

                                                <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>

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");

Did you try it yourself before you suggest this?

I just tried it, it got worst, all appear in Hex codes.
