Likely a common question - carriage return / new line in string literals in Velocity Script

[sc...@accenture.com]

I have a feeling this question has been answered many times, but I could not find a FAQ for the user mailing list, so here goes...
 
Is there any provision for including a new line / carriage return in a string literal in Velocity Script? This is important for formatting blocks of text within a proprietary application.
 
Thank you,

[Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>]

if you are using Velocity 1.5, you can just put the new line in there:

#set( $foo = "this has a
line break" )

if you're using an earlier version, the easiest way is to just add one
to the context:

context.put("n","\n");

then in your template:

#set( $foo = "this has a${n}line break" )
