Multi line text strings
Hello,
I am looking to implement new lines within a text string to simulate
separate paragraphs.
In the code below, I am defining a local table structure with two
columns; Control and CM.
#set ($RecCMs = [])
#set ($rec = { 'Control' : "Control1", 'CM' : "MyText1"}) #set ($n =
$RecCMs.add($rec))
#set ($rec = { 'Control' : "Control2", 'CM' : "Mytext2"}) #set ($n =
$RecCMs.add($rec))
I would like to replace the value of "MyText1" with a multi line string,
such as the following:
1. Do this
2. Do that
3. Do the other
Eventually, I would like the entire content of $RecCMs.CM to be
displayed in a table.
...
<td>$RecCMs.CM</td>
...
How do I go about defining the text string so that "new lines" are observed?

Thank you, Nathan. That first example did the trick.

#set ($rec = { 'Control' : "Control1", 'CM' : "1. Do this
2. Do that
3. Do the other"})
Or, using the EscapeTool, you could do:
#set ($rec = { 'Control' : "Control1", 'CM' : "1. Do this${esc.n}2. Do
that${esc.n}3. Do the other"})
